Step cooking
Tempura shrimp is a traditional Japanese dish, which differs from other dishes cooked in batter, very tasty, delicate, thin and crispy batter. For the perfect batter, a special tempura flour is used, which, in addition to water and eggs, includes: potato starch, salt, chopped garlic, and several types of flour are present: rice, corn or wheat. Using only wheat flour, such a batter you will not succeed.
- Prepare batter. Pour 150 g of tempura flour into a deep bowl.
- Pour 150 ml of cold water and mix well with a whisk to make the mass very homogeneous, without lumps.
- The batter is obtained of medium density. If you are preparing a batter in a large volume, in order for it not to thicken, you need to put several ice cubes in it. The batter is ready, set it aside and take up the shrimp.
- If your shrimp is frozen, they should be thawed at room temperature, washed and dried with a paper towel. There are several ways to clean shrimp. Using the first method, you need to break the spike near the tail, and following from the tail up, in a circle we clear the shell.
- Then with a sharp knife we will make a shallow incision along the back of the shrimp and get the intestinal canal.
- The second method is much simpler: cut the carapace with kitchen scissors from the beginning of the shrimp to the tail, take out the food canal and clean the carapace.
- Next, the shrimp needs to be pulled out so that it does not curl when frying. To do this, put the shrimp on its back, and with a knife we make three cuts at an angle.
- We turn it downwards by incisions, and pressing on the shrimp with our fingers, we extend it.
- Thus we clean and level all the shrimp. Then salt and pepper to taste.
- Roll each shrimp in tempura flour. Shake off excess flour.
- Then, holding the tail, dip the shrimp in the batter.
- We heat the fryer by pouring odorless vegetable oil into it. The ideal temperature for deep-frying is 170 degrees.
- Do not immediately dip the shrimp into the oil. Holding it by the tail, it is necessary to move the shrimp in oil for 15 to 20 seconds, so that the batter that peels off does not stick to the net with the shrimp. When the batter has seized, lower the shrimp completely.
- Fry the shrimp for no more than 2 minutes. Raise the deep fat grid and let the excess oil drain from the shrimp.
- Next, we shift the shrimp onto a paper towel to get rid of excess oil.
- Shrimp on a plate and decorate with green onions. Enjoy your meal!
