How To Make Classic Shrimp Tempura At Home

Making homemade shrimp tempura doesn't require a lot of fancy ingredients or gadgets. Just some good shrimp, some water, some flour, some oil, and that's pretty much it. This is going to show you both how to prepare your shrimp tempura, how to make tempura batter, and how to fry them for extra crispiness.

@Joshua Weissman- Pro Tip: Save that Kombu, dry it off and deep fry it for about 45-60 seconds. You'll end up with a garnish that is as tasty as the tempura.

He didn’t even say ‘cwispy’ once. Cmon Josh, what are you playing at?

My girlfriend is going to love me for this! Thanks Joshua another great vid

Pro tip: save those tempura crumbs for Takoyaki. Tempura crumbs are typically added in the batter!

My wife’s boyfriend is making this for me when I come back from school hooray

Tip: do not throw away those flakes you skimmed from the oil. They are called _tenkasu_ and can be used in many dishes including okonomiyaki and takoyaki to dramatically enhance the texture.

Joshua Weissman: While cooking dont do that, it's dangerous.

Me: What kind of danger?

Joshua Weissman: BIG DANGER.

I made Tempura today and decided to revisit your video. I'm astonished by how many details you've got right! The only two things I would do differently are using cake flour instead of all-purpose flour and using more dashi and less soy sauce and mirin for the dipping sauce, both to create a lighter texture/flavor. I'm truly impressed.

I love Tempura shrimp! Not many restaurants serve the real stuff anymore! Good that there are recipes to make them at home!

This channel is becoming my new favourite culinary channel. The cinematics and the more technique focused videos. Awesome.

Since you mentioned you work in a Japanese restaurant, I really want a video of you making Buta No Kakuni (Japanese braised pork belly). I feel like your explanation is soooo much simpler to follow than all the other cooking shows on Youtube!

Damn. Why did my shrimp allergy have to pop up this year? :, (
This looks phenomenal!

[juliagaas]

Made this tonight for dinner and my husband sent a picture to his parents, lol. Best wife award :P I stuck wooden skewers through groups of 3 smaller, peeled shrimp w/ tails removed to make 'big' shrimp. Seemed to work pretty well - Looked like shrimp tempura at a restaurant & was delish!!

Joshua gives me the confidence to cook rather than being intimidated by it

It took me about 2 years to get this right attempting it about once a month. Finally got it right. I like simple Japanese mayo on them. Kewpie Mayonnaise is very good and Amazon has it.

You can also use a bamboo skewer to keep the prawns straight and remove them after cooking. But I like the idea of adding more surface area with the light scoring.
Excellent job once again.

Never knew I needed a B-Roll in my life, at the end of every video, but now I do and I can't live without it

This is the best tempura recipe I have ever seen in my life. Nothing is better than! It literally changed my life.
