  Step 3

• In medium bowl, whisk together flour and salt; gradually whisk in ice-cold club soda just until combined (do not overmix; batter will be slightly lumpy).

  Step 5

• Dip shrimp, one at a time, into tempura batter; carefully add to hot oil. Cook in batches of 3 for 2 to 3 mins or until shrimp is golden, crispy and cooked through. Transfer to paper towel–lined baking rack set on baking sheet.

  Step 6

• Serve tempura shrimp immediately over bed of rice; drizzle with soy sauce mixture.

  Recipe Tips

  Use your fingertips to gently pinch shrimp while pressing down on flesh from tip to tail (this will lengthen the shrimp slightly for battering and frying). Alternatively, insert a small skewer or toothpick into length of shrimp (remove before serving).

  Serve with steamed broccoli.

  Make sure to chill the club soda – add a few ice cubes to increase the cold temperature.
