Rock Shrimp Tempura (Pan-Fried) Recipe

Recipe by: Cipher

"This is based off the famous recipe from Nobu. If you've ever had the rock shrimp at one of his restaurants, you'll definitely want to make these."

Directions

1Whisk egg yolk, chili-garlic sauce, rice vinegar, sea salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Pour in 3 tablespoons oil slowly, whisking constantly, until sauce is creamy.
2Whisk ice water, flour, and egg yolk together in a large bowl to make batter.
3Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Dip some shrimp in batter, letting excess drip off, and cook in hot oil until browned on both sides, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining olive oil and shrimp.
4Place cooked shrimp in a large bowl. Pour sauce on top and mix until thoroughly coated.
