I make tempura shrimp alot and I usually just use boxed tempura batter but i was out so i thought i would try to make it from scratch. i went by the directions exactly and i had the same problem that others had. the shrimp never turned brown and were soggy no matter what i did. the flavor of the batter is good but this is not a keeper.

Shrimp tempura is the best known, and chicken tenders or fish fillets work, too.

For vegetables, try bell peppers, broccoli, eggplant, mushrooms, and sweet potatoes.
