Prepare the shrimp:  First of all butterfly the shrimp by cutting down the back, being careful not to cut all the way through. And then open the shrimp like a book and rinse well with cold water.

Make the Tempura batter: Put the flour in a bowl and whisk in the seltzer to get out all the lumps. Add the egg yolks and blend it in well. Flavor with sesame oil and a pinch of salt. The batter should be the consistency of heavy cream.

Time to fry: First of all heat about 2 inches of peanut oil to 375 degrees F in a wok or deep skillet. And then dry the shrimp and vegetables well. Dust them with flour to soak up any remaining moisture and shake off the excess. Dip them into the batter one by one. Drop 4 or 5 pieces at a time in the hot oil, do not overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown, turning once, about 3 minutes. To keep the oil clean between batches, skim off the small bits of batter that float in the oil. Remove the fried shrimp and vegetables from the oil and drain on paper towels; season them with salt. Serve with the dipping sauce. Enjoy  the shrimp tempura !

Tempura Shrimp Maki Roll with Sambal Aioli and Wasabi Tobbiko

Shrimp Termpura Ingredients
For the sushi rice:

* 3 cups short grain rice
* 3 3/4 cups water
* 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
* 3 tablespoons mirin
* 3 tablespoons sugar

For the sambal aioli:

* 2 tablespoons lemon juice
* 1 tablespoon sambal
* 1 teaspoon garlic
* 3 egg yolks*
* 1 cup canola oil
* Salt
* Pepper

For the tempura shrimp maki roll:

* 1/2 cup rice flour
* 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 2 cups club soda
* 12 medium sized shrimp, peeled, deveined with tail removed
* 4 sheets nori
* Sushi rice
* Sambal aioli
* 1 cup julienne cucumber
* 1/2 cup julienne red bell pepper
* 1/2 cup wasabi tobbiko

Shrimp Tempura Instructions

First of all for the sushi rice: Wash the rice several times until the water runs clear. And then cover the rice with cold water and soak for 20 minutes. Next is to drain and place the rice in a rice cooker. Add 3-3/4 cups water. Cover and cook until the water is absorbed. While the rice is cooking, combine the rice wine vinegar, mirin and sugar in a small saucepan and cook over low heat until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat. When the rice is cooked, remove from the cooker and place in a large wooden bowl. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the vinegar and sugar mixture. When the vinegar mixture is folded in, cover the bowl with a damp towel and let rest for 30 minutes.

For the sambal aioli: In the bowl of a food processor or blender, combine the lemon juice, sambal, garlic and egg yolks and process until combined. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the canola oil to create an emulsion. If the aioli needs to be thinned out after all of the oil has been added, thin with a little water or lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.

To make the Tempura Shrimp Maki Roll: Preheat a fryer to 360 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine the rice flour, all-purpose flour and salt. Add the club soda until the consistency of pancake batter is achieved. Butterfly the shrimp by slicing lengthwise down the back. Dip the shrimp in the tempura batter and then place in the fryer and fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from the oil to a paper towel-lined plate.

On a sushi mat, lay down 1 piece of the nori, shiny side down. Spread the sushi rice on one half of the nori, about 1/4-inch thick. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the sambal aioli over the rice. In the center of the rice, lay down 1/4 cup of the cucumber and a few strip of red bell pepper in a line that reaches from one side of the nori to the other. Top the cucumber with 3 pieces of the tempura shrimp. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the wasabi tobbiko over the shrimp. Roll the sushi up, using the sushi mat. To seal the roll, use a little water along the edge of the nori. Cut the roll into 6 pieces. Repeat this procedure 3 more times to create 4 rolls.
