Always on the lookout for a nice light and delicate tempura.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Heat 3-4 inches of oil in a deep, heavy pot over high heat to a temperature of 375 degrees F. (be sure to use a deep, heavy pot so there is plenty of room for the oil to bubble up - the pot should be no more than half full.).
  2. 2
    Combine the egg yolk, water and flour in a mixing bowl, stirring just to combine - a few lumps are okay.
  3. 3
    Butterfly the shrimp by cutting them almost all the way though along their backs.
  4. 4
    Dredge the shrimp one at a time lightly in additional flour, dip in the batter, and drop carefully into the hot oil.
  5. 5
    Don't add more than 5 or 6 at a time, and be careful to keep the temperature as close to 375 degrees as possible.
  6. 6
    Cook until golden brown on all sides, turning in necessary, and transfer to a wire rack or paper towels to drain. Serve immediately.

This was just OK for me. It didnt really have the crispiness and lightness of the tempura's ive had before but it was alright.
