Homemade Shrimp Tempura Batter - Easy Appetizer Recipe

A fail-proof recipe for quick and easy Japanese style shrimp tempura at home. You can try this recipe for any party appetizer trays, wrap them inside sushi or use as topping/refined ingredient in soup/noodle. The key here is baking powder to keep the shrimp crunch texture inside while adding minimal flavor. Using extreme cold water and the whole batter container in ice bath help with the lump blooming when deep-frying. Serve this with diluted soy sauce, ponzu, pre-made tempura sauce, or even salsa works too.


Ingredients of tempura shrimp:

1 lb shrimp - peel w/ tail-on

1 egg yolk

3/4 cup flour

1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp curry powder

1 cup ice cold water
