Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Corn oil (for deep-frying)
3/4 cup (or more) ice water
1 large egg
Pinch of salt
3/4 cup unbleached all purpose flour
24 uncooked large shrimp (about 1 pound), peeled, deveined, butterflied
Lemon and Olive Mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Pour enough oil into heavy large pot to reach depth of 3 inches. Heat oil over medium-high heat to 380°F. Whisk 3/4 cup ice water, egg and pinch of salt in medium bowl until frothy. Add flour and stir with whisk just until blended and small lumps remain.
  • Working in batches, immediately dip shrimp into tempura batter to coat; shake excess batter back into bowl. Add shrimp to hot oil and fry until shrimp curl and coating is crisp, about 3 minutes. Using tongs, transfer shrimp to paper towels; drain. Sprinkle with salt.
  • Transfer shrimp tempura to platter; serve shrimp immediately with Lemon and Olive Mayonnaise.
