My review
Tempura Shrimp
Jackie Smith
"A Japanese-style meal. Deep-fried shrimp and a tangy sauce to dip them in. Try battering some vegetables such as onions, peppers, or broccoli in addition to the shrimp. Delicious!"

It should have been included in the recipe how shrimps can be "starightened" during cooking

I think it is easier to use a Tempura Mix in lieu of Vanilla Cracker.

Buy tempura mix from your local Asian grocery store- much easier and a lot better.

Very good, but just a little too sweet. The vanilla over powers the shrimp taste, and didn't stick too well on the shrimp.

Slice sweet potato, very large carrots, zucchini, eggplant etc thinly and use batter recipe. Sprinkle with sesame seeds as soon as you take out of oil. Yummy!!
