Instructions:
Prepare Shrimp:
- Pat shrimp dry. Sprinkle with 1 tsp baking soda and 1/2 tsp salt. Set aside for 10 min (this helps tenderize).
Make the Batter:
- In a bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, and 1/2 tsp baking soda.
- Gradually whisk in cold sparkling water until batter is smooth but slightly thick (should coat the shrimp lightly).
Fry Shrimp:
- Heat oil in a pan or deep fryer to 170–180°C (340–350°F).
- Dip each shrimp into the batter, then fry 2–3 min until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Prepare Dynamite Sauce:
- Mix Japanese mayonnaise, Sriracha, honey, and lemon juice and all ingredients in a bowl.
Combine:
- Toss fried shrimp in the sauce or drizzle sauce on top.
Garnish & Serve:
- Sprinkle with tobiko, sesame seeds, and chopped spring onions.
- Serve over steamed rice, sushi rice, or as a standalone appetizer.
Tips & Tricks:
Cold sparkling water keeps batter airy and crisp.
Do not overmix batter; lumps are fine.
Shrimp should be patted dry before coating for maximum crispiness.
Optional: add a squeeze of lemon before serving for freshness.
