tempura shrimp
Fried coated crustacean
Tempura shrimp is shrimp coated in a light, crispy batter and deep-fried—a preparation originating in Japanese cuisine.
The batter is deliberately kept cold and barely mixed, producing a delicate, airy coating rather than a heavy crust.
Tempura shrimp appears in bento boxes, sushi rolls, and as an appetizer: The tempura shrimp came with a small dish of dipping sauce.
