Rock Shrimp Tempura Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk egg yolk, chili-garlic sauce, rice vinegar, sea salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Pour in 3 tablespoons oil slowly, whisking constantly, until sauce is creamy.
• Whisk ice water, flour, and egg yolk together in a large bowl to make batter.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Dip some shrimp in batter, letting excess drip off, and cook in hot oil until browned on both sides, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining olive oil and shrimp.
• Place cooked shrimp in a large bowl. Pour sauce on top and mix until thoroughly coated.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the salt, egg and 1 cup ice water. Sift the flour into the bowl and whisk until smooth. Fill another wide bowl with panko. Dredge the rock shrimp a few pieces at a time in batter, then panko. Set on a plate. Repeat with remaining shrimp and asparagus.
• Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep, heavy pot over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot enough to toast a panko crumb in 30 seconds, add the shrimp, a few pieces at a time. Fry until golden brown on all sides, less than two minutes, then remove to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with the remaining shrimp and asparagus. Serve immediately with a wedge of lemon or ponzu (recipe below).

Steps:

• Make the tempura batter by mixing ingredients. Make sauce by mixing all ingredients together and set aside. Rinse and dry shrimp. Heat oil to 360F and dip the battered shrimp into the oil for 2 minutes. Drain on paper. Toss shrimp with sauce, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.
