Shrimp Tempura

I love crispy fried shrimp!  Being raised in a Catholic family, I grew up abstaining from meat every Friday.  This was never a hardship having fresh seafood all of the time.  My mother used this recipe when frying fresh shrimp and I still love it today.

Ingredients

1     cup      Flour
1/2 tsp       Sugar
1 tsp           Tony’s
1                 Egg
1    cup       Ice Water
2    Tbsp     Oil
1    lb           Peeled Shrimp

Method

Mix flour, sugar, egg, ice water, and oil together and stir until batter is smooth.  Add all shrimp to the batter, then drop by spoonfuls into hot oil (350 degrees).  Fry for about 3 minutes or until light brown turning shrimp over.  Some batter will float off shrimp while frying.  Be sure to remove floating pieces before beginning the next batch.
