Shrimp Tempura

4/15/2016

This easy recipe uses beer or seltzer water and potato flakes and creates a light and fluffy batter that fries up nice and crisp. You can use the batter to coat vegetables, chicken, or anything you want to fry tempura style. You can use rice flour or any gluten free flour, the less gluten the better in tempura. That's why I supplement the flour with potato flakes

Shrimp Tempura

Ingredients:Batter

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup instant potato flakes
1 tsp baking powder
1 egg
1 cup very cold beer or seltzer water
1 tablespoon canola oil

Shrimp

canola oil, for deep frying
½ pound shrimps, peeled and deveined
1-2 TBS Sriracha (Optional)

Stir the flour, potato flakes and baking powder together in a medium bowl.
Whisk the egg, beer, and oil in a separate bowl, just until blended.
Stir the egg mixture into the dry ingredients until a slightly lumpy batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to coat the shrimp.

Shrimp will float to the top, let cook for 1 minute after it reaches the top
