• 12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails left on
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup ice-cold water
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• Optional: Tempura dipping sauce, grated daikon radish, and grated ginger for serving
  
  Instructions:

1. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Make a few shallow cuts along the belly of each shrimp to prevent them from curling up during frying. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. Gradually pour in the ice-cold water while stirring the mixture gently. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are lumps in the batter.
4. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (180°C).
5. Dip each shrimp into the batter, making sure it's well coated.
6. Carefully place the battered shrimp into the hot oil, a few at a time, depending on the size of your fryer or pot. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, or until the tempura is golden brown and crispy.
7. Remove the shrimp from the oil with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
8. Repeat the process with the remaining shrimp, working in batches.
9. Serve the shrimp tempura immediately with tempura dipping sauce, grated daikon radish, and grated ginger on the side, if desired.

Enjoy your homemade shrimp tempura as a delicious appetizer or as part of a Japanese-inspired meal!
