Categories     Appetizer

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb. large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
1/2 10 oz package tempura batter mix
Water
Vegetable oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Begin making small slits into the inner part of each shrimp. I make about 5 slits for each shrimp. This will help stop the shrimp from curling during frying.
  • Mix the tempura batter mix with ice-cold water according to the package.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat.
  • Pat the shrimp dry and dip them into the tempura batter. Quickly place it into the hot oil and turn once. Cook each shrimp tempura until golden in color. Remove from hot skillet and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Serve the shrimp tempura with low sodium soy sauce or tempura sauce.

CHEF JOHN'S SHRIMP TEMPURA



Chef John's Shrimp Tempura image

I'm showing you what I think is the easiest, simplest, best method for doing tempura, which produces something with an extremely thin, but still very crispy, coating. If you're not into shrimp, this technique will work with many other things.

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 each large shrimp, peeled and deveined
canola oil for frying
¼ cup self-rising flour
¼ cup potato starch
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper
½ cup cold sparkling water
½ cup prepared dashi stock
¼ cup mirin
¼ cup soy sauce
1 pinch white sugar, or to taste
grated daikon radish

Steps:

  • Dry peeled and deveined shrimp on paper towels. Flip each shrimp over and make shallow cuts through to make sure they won't curl up when frying. Refrigerate until needed.
  • Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Combine self-rising flour, potato starch, salt, and cayenne in a bowl with a whisk. Add cold water and whisk until flour disappears and a crepe-like batter is achieved. Coat shrimp in batter.
  • Fry shrimp in small batches, no more than 6 at a time, making sure they don't stick together, until golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  • Stir together dashi broth, mirin, soy sauce, and sugar for sauce. Grate daikon radish over. Taste and adjust as needed. Serve shrimp with dipping sauce.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cornstarch
4 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons curry powder
12 ounces cold seltzer
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 to 3 liters canola oil (approximately, as needed for deep-frying)
1 pound (21-30 count) shrimp, deveined and shells removed
Special equipment: Approximately 12 (8-inch) bamboo skewers

Steps:

  • To make tempura, mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and curry powder in a bowl. Dredge the shrimp in this dry mix, shaking any excess back into the bowl, and add seltzer to the tempura in a stream while whisking constantly to make it into batter. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat canola oil to 375 degrees F in a deep-fryer, or according to the manufacturer's instructions for similar foods.
  • Thread the dusted shrimp onto skewers, approximately 4 to a skewer. Pour the tempura batter into a glass pie plate, dip each skewer of shrimp into the tempura batter, and add to the deep- fryer basket. Fry until golden brown. Drain on paper toweling and serve warm.
  • Note: In the episode this dish was used as part of the bento box of 5 cooked tasting size entrees in conjunction with Miso Glazed Pink Cod; Chicken Yakitori with Scallions; Shrimp Tempura; Gyoza; and Korokee.
