Delight your taste buds with a crispy, succulently tender dish of air fryer tempura shrimp. This modern twist on a classic Japanese favourite offers all the crunch without the excess oil. Begin by marinating plump, juicy prawns in a light soy sauce and sesame oil mix, allowing the flavours to meld beautifully.

Meanwhile, prepare a delicate tempura batter using a blend of plain flour and cornflour, combined with sparkling water for that signature lightness. Dip each shrimp into the batter, ensuring they're evenly coated, before placing them in the air fryer.

Set the temperature to a consistent 200 degrees Celsius and let the air fryer work its magic, producing golden, crispy morsels in a fraction of the time it takes to deep-fry. Serve your air fryer tempura shrimp with a zesty dipping sauce made from soy sauce, a splash of rice vinegar, and a hint of wasabi. This dish is sure to impress at dinner parties or as a delectable snack for a cosy night in.
