Follow The Directions

01

Step

Make sauce: Whisk together soy sauce, sherry, rice wine vinegar, oyster sauce, scallions, sugar, lemon juice, and ginger stir-in paste in a small bowl until well combined. Set aside. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Prepare shrimp: Whisk together cornstarch, flour, club soda, and beaten egg in a large bowl until well combined. Add shrimp; gently stir until shrimp are evenly coated. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions. Cut a piece of parchment to fit the basket of the air fryer and set aside. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Use tongs to hold shrimp by the tail and dip in batter, allowing any excess batter to drip off. Place shrimp on the reserved parchment paper without overcrowding, then place into the basket of the air fryer. You will need to cook shrimp in batches. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Cook in the preheated air fryer until desired crispness is reached, about 8 minutes. Repeat with remaining shrimp. Serve hot with sauce. (8 minutes per batch)

For an extra crispy tempura, lightly spray the battered shrimp with cooking oil before air frying.
Adjust the sweetness of the dipping sauce to your liking by adding more or less sugar.
Ensure the shrimp are dry before coating them in the batter for better adhesion.
