Instructions (2 steps)

01In a large bowl, whisk together the salt, egg and 1 cup ice water. Sift the flour into the bowl and whisk until smooth. Fill another wide bowl with panko. Dredge the rock shrimp a few pieces at a time in batter, then panko. Set on a plate. Repeat with remaining shrimp and asparagus.
02Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep, heavy pot over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot enough to toast a panko crumb in 30 seconds, add the shrimp, a few pieces at a time. Fry until golden brown on all sides, less than two minutes, then remove to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with the remaining shrimp and asparagus. Serve immediately with a wedge of lemon or ponzu (recipe below).
