ingredients
3/4 cup beer (not dark)
3/4 cup cake flour (not self-rising)
3/4 teaspoon salt
6 large shrimp, shelled and deveined
1 small sweet potato
vegetable oil for deep-drying
1 small red bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch-thick rings
6 asparagus spears, trimmed
directions
In a bowl, whisk beer into flour until smooth and stir in salt.
Make several shallow cuts across inside curve of each shrimp and press shrimp gently (to help prevent curling during cooking).
Peel sweet potato and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
In a 3-quart saucepan, heat 2 inches oil to 375 degrees F. Working in batches of 3 or 4 pieces, dredge shrimp, sweet potato slices, bell pepper rings, and asparagus spears in batter to coat completely, letting excess drip off. Fry, turning, until golden, for about 3 minutes.
Transfer tempura as fried to brown paper with tongs to drain and season with salt. Serve tempura with soy sauce.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
