Cooking: 15 minutes

Total: 35 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

1 pound rock shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup ice-cold water
Vegetable oil, for frying
Soy sauce, for dipping

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
Slowly add ice-cold water to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 350°F (175°C).
Dip each rock shrimp into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off, and carefully lower it into the hot oil.
Fry for about 3-4 minutes, until the shrimp turns golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan, fry in batches if needed.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the rock shrimp tempura hot with soy sauce for dipping.
