This turned out okay but the tempura batter needed more flavor

Simply awesome!!! We have made this twice; once with jumbo shrimp and once with the smaller cheaper shrimp. My fiance is half Japanese and hated the smaller shrimp because he said"it gets too crispy and tempura is not supposed to be that crispy, but welove the batter espially on jumbo shrimp! When I make the shrimp I also use this batter for Zucchini. My fiance wants me to do broccoli next!!

love it. Didn't have any rice wine so I used sherry and it was very tasty. Will use for other foods in the future.

Great recipe! I used this on fish w/o the marinade and it was fantastic. Thick batter really colder water (I add ice cubes), and I may substitute olive oil for shortening next time. I've been looking for a homemade tempura batter and this is it!

Really excellent, basic recipe. I didn't marinatae at all - had no rice wine on hand and it came out perfect! Used size 15 to a pound shrimp and dried all water off before frying.

Very good and easy to make. I added 2 teaspoons of cayenne pepper to the batter for an extra kick. My family enjoyed it, Thnks for the recipe.

Very light and crispy. Make sure to dry your shrimp well and that your oil is very hot, otherwise they come out greasy and gummy. I added a little sesame seed oil to the marinade than added some sesame seeds to the batter.

I love this batter! My wife has tryed tempura before and wasn't a fan, but she couldn't get enough of this. The only drawback to this recipie is that it makes very little batter. So make sure you use the serving conversion feature when looking at the recipie.

For the batter to stick well you really need to pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel. After dipping in the batter I rolled in Panko bread crumbs for an even crispier coating. Very good but I am not sure I won't just keep using the box tempura mix.

This was very good...I doubled it because I had a lot of shrimp. My daughter who usually has to be pushed to finish her dinner had seconds.

Lovely. I doubled the recipe and used it with chicken. It was nice and crispy, coated well, good flavor. Will use again, often.

We did not use this batter recipe for shrimp, and omitted the marinate, but i used the basic tempura batter on onion rings and chicken and it was lovely. It worked the best on the chicken, it stuck perfectly and was SO tasty. The onion rings were good too, but for that particular veggie the batter was a tiny bit too thin. It was SO good though. And perfect since we always have everything on hand anyways. I have already passed this recipe on to my mom! Its wonderful!

Okay, read the other reviews and it's not just me. The recipe is really good but the batter didn't stick and was very messy. I enjoyed it but will also use less water next time and see if that helps.

OK, I would have given this 5 stars, because my whole family loved the taste and flavor of the shrimp, and it was actually a great tasting recipie; however, the only complaint I have is that the batter was not thick enough and I follwed the recipie exactly, but I doubled it. In fact, the shrimp barely had any batter on them. If the batter was thicker, it would have been AWESOME! Maybe next time when I make this, I wont add as much water. Other than that, it did taste pretty darn good!
