TEMPURA SHRIMPS (PRAWNS) WITH WASABI MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a heavy saucepan/wok (about 2" deep) to 375°F or 190°C over high heat.
• Combine soda water and egg yolk in a large bowl, then add the flours and baking soda.
• Season with salt and pepper, whisk mixture until just combined but still lumpy (do not overmix).
• Dip 6 prawns, 1 at a time, into batter to evenly coat.

GARLIC SHRIMP WITH WASABI MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Stir together all the ingredients for the wasabi mayonnaise, beginning with 2 tsp wasabi paste, adding and tasting until you achieve your desired level of spiciness; place in the refrigerator until needed.
• Stir together all the"FOR THE SHRIMP" ingredients, EXCEPT the shrimp.
• When thoroughly combined, pour over the shrimp, and mix well making sure that each piece is well covered with the marinade.
• Place in the refrigerator and allow to marinate 15 minutes; do not go much beyond this time, or the lime juice will begin to"cook" the shrimp, making them tough.
• Put the shrimp (marinade and all) in one layer in a large dry non-stick frypan over medium-high heat, season with pepper to your taste and saute just until pink.
• I usually get them arranged in one layer, and by this time the first ones are beginning to color; I immediately begin to turn them over one by one and by then the first ones are ready to come out of the pan; by the time I've gotten to the last one they will all be cooked to my liking.
• Remove to a serving dish and don't forget to bring the wasabi mayo out of the fridge.
