Note from Delish:

I always love Japanese food. That’s why I decided to prepare this recipe. It’s very easy and I can eat as many as I can. For you, just make sure that you don’t have any allergic reactions with shrimps.

I also showed how to prepare the shrimp, from peeling to deveining. You can use any dip that you want. Tempura tastes great with any dip, mayonnaise, sweet chili dip or lemon and soy sauce. Whichever you want.
