Amaebi tempura is a delicious and crispy dish that showcases the natural sweetness of sweet shrimp. To make amaebi tempura, you will need fresh amaebi, tempura batter mix, vegetable oil for frying, and salt for seasoning. Start by cleaning the amaebi by removing the head and shell, leaving only the tail intact. Make the tempura batter according to the instructions on the package. Dip the cleaned amaebi into the tempura batter, making sure to coat it evenly. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the battered amaebi into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove the amaebi from the oil and drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil. Season with salt to taste. The result is a crunchy and flavorful amaebi tempura that is perfect as an appetizer or as part of a larger meal.
