Instructions
- Add enough vegetable oil to a deep-sided skillet or large pot so that it comes 1 inch up the sides. Place over medium to medium-high heat and heat the oil until it reaches 350 degrees F.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Then whisk in the egg and water until the batter is smooth. Set aside.
- Use a sharp knife to cut horizontal slits into the underside of each shrimp. This will help the shrimp straighten out while cooking (instead of being curved).
- Dip the shrimp into the tempura batter. Then, immediately add it to the hot oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes, flipping once, until golden brown. (I can usually get 2-3 shrimp in the pan, you don't want to overcrowd it.)
- Use tongs to remove the shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining shrimp.
- Serve warm with tempura dipping sauce or yum yum sauce.

Notes
- I like 16/20 (extra jumbo size) shrimp best for this recipe. If you use a smaller size like jumbo or large, you get a higher recipe yield. There should be plenty of batter for this adjustment if needed.
