Step 1

Whisk the dipping sauce ingredients in a small bowl and transfer to small dipping cups for each individual. Prior to serving add a few green onions cut on the bias.

Step 3

Add all the tempura batter ingredients to a medium bowl and mix quickly with a fork until lumps are gone.

Step 4

Dip the shrimp in the batter to through coat and then drop in the heated oil - fry about three at a time to maintain the temperature. Flip once in the hot oil and fry for 2 minutes until crisp and golden.

Step 5

Dry the fried shrimp on a baking rack with paper towels underneath to lessen the grease.
