Tempura Shrimp

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oil in the fryer to 350°F (180°C). Place a wire rack on a baking sheet or line it with paper towel. Preheat the oven to 200°F (100°C), to keep the shrimp warm as you cook them.

2. 2

   In a bowl, combine 1 cup (120 g) of the flour with the salt and baking soda. Gradually whisk in the water and vinegar, whisking just until the batter is smooth.

3. 3

   In a large shallow bowl, place the remaining 1/2 cup (60 g) of flour. In another shallow bowl, place the rice cereal.

4. 4

   Dredge the shrimp in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip the shrimps in the batter, one at a time, holding them by the tail. Immediately dredge them in the rice cereal. Place them in the fryer, shaking the basket lightly so they do not stick. Fry 5 shrimp at a time for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown. Drain on the baking sheet.

5. 5

   Sprinkle the shrimp with paprika and salt. Serve with sweet and sour pepper sauce.
