Instructions

  1. Prepare the shrimp by making shallow cuts along the belly to prevent curling. Dust lightly with flour.
  2. Combine 1 cup of flour with the cold egg and ice-cold water to create the tempura batter. Mix gently to keep the batter lumpy and cold.
  3. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F. Dip the shrimp into the batter, then carefully place them in the hot oil.
  4. Fry the shrimp until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Season with sea salt.
