Tempura Shrimp Secrets 海老の天ぷら

Crispy Tempura shrimp is a dish that many people love, a popular dish in Japanese cuisine.
The first secret to making crispy Tempura shrimp is to use a light batter and to fry the shrimp at a high temperature. The batter should be light and airy, enough to coat the shrimp, but not so heavy that it weighs them down. The ideal batter will be light and crispy, with a delicate flavour that doesn't overpower the taste of the shrimp. The best way to achieve the perfect consistency is to use a low protein flour such as cake flour or dedicated a tempura flour. If all you have is plain all purpose flour, replace one third of the quantity with either corn-starch, potato or rice flour to lower the gluten rate. This will still result in a crispy coating. I don't normally season tempura batter as the dipping sauce contains a lot of salty soy sauce. But I suggest to add salt to the batter if you eat them without the sauce.
The second secret is to use ice cold water when mixing the batter. In fact, try and refrigerate everything, mixing bow, utensils, even the flour before use. This will help to keep the batter light and prevent it from becoming soggy.
The third secret is to not over mix the batter, simply fold the flour into the liquid until mixed, even if there’s lumps, that’s fine. Always make your batter last minute, just before frying.
When frying the shrimp, it is important to use a vegetable oil that has a high smoke point, such as canola oil or peanut oil. The oil should be heated to 340°F - 170°C before adding the shrimp. The shrimp should be fried for two to three minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once they are crispy, remove them from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve immediately with dipping sauce and enjoy!
If you follow these simple tips, you'll be able to enjoy crispy Tempura shrimp just like the Japanese.

[@pinterestexpress8870]

What is cake flour-just normal all purpose white flour?

[@garlicgirl3149]

Cake flour is finely milled wheat flour. It is bleached too. It is supposed to make a better 'crumb' in the cake than regular flour. My mom used to use it for special cakes. There is a difference in texture. If you cannot find it I have found some substitutions say mix a certain amount of regular flour and cornstarch and then sift it.

[@recipe30]

It's a fine white wheat flour that contains low protein.

[@okawaribyazusa]

I’ve never made the batter ingredients in cold. But I should try this from now on! 😊

Ahhh the absolute technique for tempura, I m sure the taste will be as good, if not, better, any Ginza area tempura restaurants 🙂

Wow they look awsome chef just to questions if you dont mind what did you do on the tail never seen that done before I have took the black bit out of the body and I have never seen cake flour on the shelfs only in them cake mix kits you can buy his there a name for the flour remember years ago when we where kids used to be able to buy the crispy bits in a bag for half a penny in we called them fish bits lol sorry about that a little blast from the past when a seen all the crispy bits delicious recipe chef and so simple thanks for sharing

Cleaning the tails makes them look nicer but more importantly, stops the oil splattering. Those crispy bits are delish sprinkled on other dishes. Glad you liked it Big Steve! 👍
