Start A New Game Day Tradition With A Veggie-And-Shrimp Fry
(NAPSA) - Next season, they'll still be talking about your game day recipe for vegetable and shrimp tempura.
This Tempura recipe for tailgating seals in the flavors of fresh green beans and sweet potatoes, then blends the lighter taste of juicy shrimp for a simple yet bold twist on American traditions. The sweet ginger dipping sauce cinches the dish.
The peanut oil adds a robust, nutty flavor and intensifies the crispy texture of the breading. This oil's high smoke point lets you fry at higher temperatures for flaky, light and beautiful dishes that are never greasy or crumbly.
