It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

A traditional shrimp tempura recipe, also known as ebi tempura. Large shrimp are coated in a light batter and deep-fried until crisp.

vegetable oil for deep-frying
1 egg yolk, beaten
1 1/2 cup cold water or club soda
1 cup all-purpose flour or rice flour, plus additional for dredging
1 pound large shrimp, peeled but tails left on
Heat 3 inches of oil in a deep pot to 375 degrees F.
Combine the egg yolk, water, and flour in a bowl and whisk until mostly smooth.
Add additional flour to a shallow dish.
Dredge the shrimp first in the flour to coat completely, shaking off any excess. Then, dip in the egg batter, making sure to coat them completely.
Add the shrimp to the hot oil in batches. Cook until brown on all sides. Remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon and let drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
Serve the shrimp hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
