Instructions
- Peel and devein shrimp.
- Heat oil to 375 degrees f in a deep fryer or pour enough oil into a large pot to deep fry. You may want to check the oil temperature with a candy thermometer.
- Mix together flour, cornstarch, and club soda in a bowl. Whisk the mixture until just blended, mix only until there are no lumps in the batter. If desired add some of the fresh herbs to the batter.
- Dip shrimp one at a time into batter. There is no need to dip the tails. Shake off excess batter. Deep fry for about 2 to 3 minutes, the batter should crisp up, do not let the batter brown, the shrimp will overcook. Remove the cooked shrimp with a large slotted spoon.
- Drain shrimp on a wire rack on top of a baking sheet. You can keep the shrimp in a warm oven (200 degrees) before serving if desired.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds and herbs on top if desired.
Notes
- You could use this battered shrimp tempura in sushi, these would make a great tempura shrimp roll.
- Peanut oil is my preferred cooking oil, but regular vegetable oil will also work!
