Crispy Tempura Style Popcorn Shrimp Recipe

Ingredients

FOR THE CHILI CRISP DIPPING SAUCE

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons chili crisp
• 2 teaspoons rice vinegar

FOR THE SHRIMP

• 1 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 1/4 cups cold seltzer water
• 2 pounds small shrimp, peeled
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Directions

1. Combine the mayonnaise, chili crisp, and rice vinegar in a small bowl and mix well. Set aside.
2. Add the flour, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground ginger to a medium mixing bowl and stir together.
3. Pour the seltzer water into the flour mixture and stir until a thin batter forms. Do not overmix — lumps in the batter are fine.
4. Bring your frying oil to 350 F in a pot over medium-high heat.
5. Using chopsticks, dip the shrimp into the batter.
6. Once coated, carefully drop the shrimp into the oil. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned and crisp. Make sure not to overcrowd the pot, and work in batches if necessary.
7. Once fried, remove the shrimp to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
8. Serve the shrimp hot, with plenty of chili crisp dipping sauce on the side.
