Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Trim the sharp tail tip with scissors to prevent splattering caused by moisture when frying.
  • After making diagonal cuts on the belly, press the joints firmly until you hear a distinct 'popping' sound to ensure the shrimp stays straight when fried.
  • Removing the shrimp from the oil midway to expose it to air before returning it creates a double-frying effect, greatly increasing crispiness.
  • For the shrimp head, apply only a very thin layer of tempura batter to achieve a rich, savory flavor similar to shrimp crackers.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to successfully make straight, crispy shrimp tempura at home like a Japanese restaurant.
  • Those who want to learn proper shrimp preparation and expert frying techniques.
  • Those who want to enjoy every part of the shrimp, including the flavorful head, without waste.
