Amaebi tempura is a delicious and crispy dish that highlights the natural sweetness of amaebi. To make this tempura, you will need fresh amaebi, tempura batter mix, vegetable oil for frying, and a dipping sauce. Start by peeling the amaebi, leaving the tail intact. Make a few shallow cuts on the underside of the shrimp to prevent it from curling during frying. Prepare the tempura batter mix according to the package instructions. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to around 350°F (175°C). Dip the amaebi into the tempura batter, making sure it is fully coated. Carefully place the shrimp into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove the amaebi tempura from the oil and let it drain on a paper towel. Serve the tempura with a side of dipping sauce, such as tentsuyu or tempura sauce. The crispy exterior and succulent interior of the amaebi tempura make it a delightful treat for seafood lovers.
