Shrimp tempura - The deep fried devils

Shrimp tempura or Golden fried Prawn is a mouth watering sea food dish that qualifies for one of the best appetizers in my list. The calorie conscious me do not really indulge myself in deep fried items or as a matter of fact, any high calorie food. But fortunately(to few people) my tantrums and whines are limited to my home only. The moment I step out for eating I do forget all my consciousness. 
This is one of the dishes that we(me and my wife) have a lot whenever we eat out. I tried it at home and I was really satisfied with the outcome. 
This is how I did it:

Ingredients:

• Jumbo shrimps                 - 10 to 12
• All purpose flour(maida)   - 3/4  cup
• Corn flour                        - ½ cup
• Ice cold water                  - 3/4 cup
• Salt                                 - ½ tsp
• Oil                                   - to deep fry
• Chili powder                    - ½ tsp

Method:

1. Peel the shrimps leaving the tail tip intact. De-vein them. Make a couple of slits underside and stretch lengthwise in order to straighten the shrimps. I forgot to straighten my shrimps.
2. Marinate the shrimps with a pinch of salt and some chili powder and keep aside for 20 minutes.
3. Mix all purpose flour, corn flour, water, salt and prepare the batter. Do not bother about the lumps, they make it better.
4. Heat enough oil so that the shrimps could be deep fried.
5. Dip shrimps in batter, hold it by tail and put it in oil.
6. Fry turning sides until it turns golden in color.
7. Serve with your favorite sauce and a salad.
