Ingredients

Batter

  • ½ cup rice flour
  • 1 cup cold seltzer water
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 cups vegetable oil for frying

Dipping Sauce

  • 2 shallots, minced
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup sake
  • 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon diced ginger root

Directions

Step 1
Mix shallots, soy sauce, sake, hot pepper sauce, cilantro, and ginger together in a bowl; let sit, about 2 hours.

Step 2
Mix 1 cup rice flour, seltzer water, and egg yolk together in a bowl.

Step 3
Split shrimp down the center, cutting almost but not completely through, and open flat. Pat with paper towel to dry; dust with 1/2 cup rice flour. Dip shrimp in batter until thoroughly covered.

Step 4

Cook’s Notes:

I use my Fry Daddy(R) to cook the shrimp, but you can also use a skillet.
