How to Cook Shrimp With Tempura Coatings
Shrimp tempura is a treat at Japanese restaurants, but you can easily prepare this classic dish at home. Tempura shrimp is coated in a light batter before being fried. You can purchase tempura batter mixes in the international section of most grocery stores, or make your own using flour, sparkling water and egg or baking soda. Consider coating vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower or carrots, in tempura as well to complement your shrimp.
