Amaebi tempura is a crispy and flavorful dish that showcases the sweetness of the shrimp. To make this tempura, you will need fresh amaebi shrimp, tempura batter mix, vegetable oil for frying, and dipping sauce. Start by peeling and deveining the shrimp, leaving the tails intact. In a bowl, prepare the tempura batter mix according to the package instructions. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to around 350°F (175°C). Dip each shrimp into the tempura batter, making sure it is fully coated, and carefully place it into the hot oil. Fry the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve the amaebi tempura with a dipping sauce made from soy sauce, mirin, and grated daikon radish. The tempura batter adds a light and crispy texture to the sweet shrimp, making it a delightful appetizer or main course option.
