Tempura Shrimp - Panko Fried Shrimp Recipe

Remove the shell and legs from the shrimp, leaving the tail on.

Butterfly the shrimp by cutting down the back and folding them open.

In a bowl, combine 2 cups of unsifted all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of seasoned salt.

Add 2 eggs and 12 ounces of pale ale to the flour mixture.

Slowly mix the batter, ensuring not to overmix; lumps are okay.

Add 1 cup of ice to keep the batter cold.

Dredge each shrimp in the batter, shaking off excess.

Coat the shrimp in panko breadcrumbs.

Heat a deep fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (or use a cast iron pan with oil at 360 to 375 degrees).

Place the shrimp in the hot oil upright with tails sticking up.

Fry the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown.
