🛒 Ingredients
🍳 Preparation Steps
  1. 1

    In a bowl, mix the flour and salt. Add the egg yolk and very cold water. Mix lightly to obtain a still lumpy batter.

  2. 2

    Dry the shrimp with paper towels. Make a light incision on their back to prevent curling during cooking.

  3. 3

    Heat the oil to 170–180°C. Dip each shrimp in the batter, then immerse in the hot oil. Cook for 2–3 minutes until golden and crispy.

  4. 4

    Drain the shrimp on paper towels. In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, mirin, lemon juice and ginger for the sauce.

  5. 5

    Arrange the tempura on a plate, garnish with lemon and parsley. Serve immediately with the sauce.

Tips & Tricks
  • For an even lighter batter, use very cold sparkling water and avoid overmixing.
  • Serve the tempura immediately after frying to preserve their optimal crispiness.
  • To reheat leftovers, place them in a 180°C oven for 5 minutes to restore crispiness.
  • Variations: try with vegetables (zucchini, carrots) or add a pinch of chili to the batter.
