Ingredients
- 1 lb shrimp, extra-large, peeled with tail left on, deveined, washed
- Seaweed , sliced thin, dried, desired amount
- Sweet potato, sliced thin, desired amount
- Broccoli, cut into florets, desired amount
- 6 cups canola oil
- 1 cup sesame oil
- 2½ cups cake flour
- 3 eggs
- Ice water, as needed
- Club soda, about 1-2 tbsp, as needed
- Soy sauce, for serving
Instructions
- Prep shrimp and vegetables. Place them in bowls for easy access when frying.
- Heat oil in a large pot to 350 degrees F. Prepare a baking sheet with foil and line with paper towels.
- Beat an egg in a measuring cup and add ice water to make ¾ to 1 cup. Add to a mixing bowl and add ¾ cup cake flour.
- Mix with a pair of chopsticks or a butter knife. The batter will be lumpy so don't over-stir. Add club soda and quickly stir.
- Dry the shrimp and vegetables with a paper or dish towel. This will help the batter stick better.
- Dip shrimp and vegetables into the batter, one piece at a time. Remove excess batter by shaking then add to hot oil, being very careful not to burn yourself.
- Fry about 5 to 8 pieces at a time for about 2 to 4 minutes or until golden and crispy. For the dried seaweed, it will need less time.
- Use a slotted spoon to turn them over when necessary and to remove them from the oil. Place on a prepared baking sheet to allow excess oils to be removed.
- If you need more batter, make it as you need it so that it remains cold throughout.
- Serve immediately with soy sauce.
