Steps:
- Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 200 degrees. In large, heavy Dutch oven fitted with clip-on candy thermometer, heat oil over high heat to 385 degrees, 18 to 22 minutes.
- While oil heats, make 2 shallow cuts about ¼ inch deep and 1 inch apart on underside of each shrimp. Whisk flour and cornstarch together in large bowl. Whisk egg and vodka together in second large bowl. Whisk seltzer water into egg mixture.
- When oil reaches 385 degrees, pour liquid mixture into bowl with flour mixture and whisk gently until just combined (it is OK if small lumps remain). Submerge half of shrimp in batter. Using tongs, remove shrimp from batter 1 at a time, allowing excess batter to drip off, and carefully place in oil (temperature should now be at 400 degrees). Fry, stirring with chopstick or wooden skewer to prevent sticking, until light brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt. Once paper towels absorb excess oil, place shrimp on wire rack set in rimmed baking sheet and place in oven.
- Return oil to 400 degrees, about 4 minutes, and repeat with remaining shrimp. Serve immediately with Dipping Sauce.
- NOTE: Do not omit the vodka; it is critical for a crisp coating. For safety, use a Dutch oven with a capacity of at least 7 quarts. Be sure to begin mixing the batter when the oil reaches 385 degrees (the final temperature should reach 400 degrees). It is important to maintain a high oil temperature throughout cooking. If you are unable to find colossal shrimp (8-12 per pound), jumbo (16-20) or extra-large (21-25) may be substituted. Fry smaller shrimp in three batches, reducing the cooking time to 1½ to 2 minutes per batch. See Straighten Out Your Shrimp below for tips on preventing the shrimp from curling.
- DIPPING SAUCE: Mix all ingredients in a medium bowl.
TEMPURA DIPPING SAUCE
The traditional Japanese dipping sauce for shrimp or vegetable tempura. This is the full-flavored version - unlike the thinner, watery, less robust sauce being served in some restaurants. Serve in small bowls at each setting. Optionally, provide grated fresh ginger and grated daikon to mix into sauce.

Steps:
- Make dipping sauce
- In small saucepan over moderate heat, stir together all ingredients. Bring to simmer, then remove from heat and keep warm. (DO AHEAD: Sauce can be made ahead, refrigerated in covered container up to 2 days, and rewarmed over moderate heat before serving.)
- Make tempura
- Bring medium pot water to boil over high heat. Have large bowl ice water ready. Add green beans to boiling water and blanch just until crisp-tender, about 30 seconds. Using slotted spoon, immediately transfer to ice water to stop cooking, then drain well and dry on paper towels.
- Make several shallow cuts across inside curve of each shrimp and gently press shrimp flat on cutting board (to help prevent curling during cooking). Sprinkle shrimp with salt and pepper.
- In large saucepan over moderate heat, heat 4 inches of oil until thermometer registers 325°F.
- In large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and sesame oil. Gradually and gently whisk in 2 1/2 cups ice water, mixing just until dry ingredients are moistened. (Batter will be very lumpy.)
- Working in batches, using tongs or chopsticks dip shrimp and vegetables into batter and fry, turning occasionally, until golden, about 1 1/2 minutes for green beans, 2 minutes for shrimp and other vegetables. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Return oil to 325°F between batches and, using spider or slotted spoon, remove any residual bits of batter from oil before adding next batch.
- To fry shiso leaves, gently lay each leaf on top of batter to coat 1 side, then drop, batter-side-down, into oil and fry without turning until underside is golden, about 1 minute. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
- Serve tempura immediately with dipping sauce.

Steps:
- For the tempura: To begin, preheat the oil to 375 degrees F, and then begin the batter. In mixing bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, cornstarch and salt together, blending well. Next, add the egg and again mix. Then stir in the soda water and vinegar, and mix for final time. Keep cold until use and stir again before each use.
- For the sauce: In a bowl, blend the mayo and wasabi, whisking together well to form a smooth sauce. Hold cold until dressing the cooked shrimp.
- For the shrimp: Slice the shrimp from head to tail, forming 2 even pieces; this will yield 46 total pieces. Next, dip and evenly coat 12 shrimp at a time with the tempura batter, and then place in the hot oil. Cook until fluffy and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and repeat the process with the remaining shrimp.
- Once all the shrimp are cooked, toss them with the prepared sauce. Remove from the sauce without excess, and finish with lemon juice. Serve.

Tips:

- To prevent the shrimp from sticking together, toss them in a little cornstarch before dipping them in the batter.
- Fry the shrimp in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, or the shrimp will not cook evenly.
