How to make Fried Shrimp

Clean the shrimp by washing them in cold water, removing shells and veins, and placing them in a colander.

Put the shrimp shells in a separate metal bowl after cleaning.

Pour vegetable oil into a pot, filling it about three-quarters full, and heat it to approximately 350 degrees.

Prepare the tempura batter by mixing 1 cup of McCormick's tempura batter with 3/4 cup of cold water, adding ice cubes to keep it cold.

Stir the batter until it reaches a consistency that will stick to the shrimp, adjusting with more water if it's too thick.

Add Morton's nature seasoning and Lawry's seasoning salt to the batter for flavor, mixing until well combined.

Check the oil temperature by looking for ripples in the pot, ensuring it's hot but not smoking before frying the shrimp.

Dredge the cleaned shrimp in the batter and drop them into the hot oil to fry until golden brown.
