Crispy Tempura Shrimp Restaurant Style By freda image

A Crispy Crunchy and Light batter,This is my Personal Favorite, While working in a couple Chinese Reataurants in my day, I was always in the Kitchen Learning How they Made their Dishes. This is One I learned. This can also be used on Raw Vegetables, and Onion Rings. Note: Some Tempura batters made at home become "Soft and Soggy"...
