Steps:
- Peel sweet potato (or other vegetable) and slice into rounds NO THICKER than 1/4 inch.
- Soak root veggies in water while you prep other foods to wash off excess starch.
- Optional step for shrimp: make shallow slices crosswise along the underside of the shrimp. Using your fingers, stretch out the shrimp so that it lies straight, instead of curled. Traditional shrimp tempura is always straight, but you can skip this step if you don't care for it. The taste will be the same.
- Optional step 2 for shrimp: Soak prepped shrimp in sake while you make the batter to remove fishy smells prior to cooking.
- In a bowl, mix water, mayonnaise, and 1/2 cup of the flour.
- Mix salt and remaining 1/2 cup flour in separate bowl.
- While you preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees F, dip your fillings into the wet batter.
- Take your battered shrimp or vegetables and dip them into the dry flour/salt mix. Add more flour as necessary to lightly coat the outside of your tempura. The flour coating helps prevent the battered food from sticking to each other or to the air fryer basket. A thicker, dryer batter also prevents it from completely flying off the food when you air fry.
- Place tempura into the preheated air fryer basket, taking care to not overcrowd the basket. You will probably need to do this in batches.
- Spray with canola oil spray and air fry at 350 degrees. Shrimp tempura takes 8 minutes. Root vegetables take 10.
- Serve hot with tempura dipping sauce (can be purchased or homemade) and rice, or as a side to noodle dishes and bentos.

Steps:
- Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees Fahrenheit.
- When the air fryer is hot, add the frozen tempura shrimp to the air fryer tray. There shouldn't be any overlap so if you can't fit them all, make less or cook this amount in two batches.
- Cook the frozen shrimp for 11-14 minutes total until they are fully cooked through and lightly golden brown on the outside. Flip the shrimp halfway through. Some shrimps might come precooked but others are uncooked. In this case, make sure to fully cook them - the internal temperature needs to be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Once cooked and crispy, remove the shrimp from the air fryer and serve with dipping sauce (often frozen shrimp tempura comes with one).

Steps:
- For the fried shrimp: Spray the basket of a 3.5-quart air fryer with cooking spray and set aside. Pat the shrimp dry between a couple paper towels, then season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
- Whisk the flour with 3/4 teaspoon salt and few grinds of pepper in a shallow bowl or baking dish. Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt in another shallow bowl. Add the panko to a third shallow bowl. Dip a shrimp in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess, then dip in the beaten eggs. Dredge in the panko, turning until evenly coated. Transfer to a large plate or a rimmed baking sheet and repeat with the remaining shrimp.
- Preheat the air fryer to 385 degrees F. Working in batches, place some of the shrimp in a single layer in the fryer basket, then spray lightly with more cooking spray. Cook until the shrimp are golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway through, about 10 minutes.
- For the spicy remoulade sauce: Meanwhile, stir together the mayonnaise, pickled jalapenos, mustard, ketchup, hot sauce and scallion in a small bowl until smooth. Serve with the fried shrimp for dipping.

AIR-FRYER TEMPURA VEGGIES
Air fryers are taking over kitchens nationwide. They're basically mini convection ovens that 'fry' foods with little to no oil, less fat, and fewer calories. A heating element and fan bathe the food in hot air to produce a crispy finished product. Use 2 to 3 cups of assorted vegetable pieces, cut 1/2-inch thick. Serve with desired dipping sauce.
