      1 c  Asparagus; 1" pieces                1    Onion; medium, cut into ring 
      1 c  Carrots; 1/4" slices                1    Parsley; bunch 
      1 c  Celery; 1/4" slices                 1 c  Snow Peas 
      1 c  Cauliflower; flowerettes            1    Sweet potato; 1/8" slices 
      1 c  Zucchini; 1/2x2" sticks                  Vegetable oil 
      1 c  Green beans; 2" pieces              1    TEMPURA BATTER RECIPE 
      1 c  Green Onions; 2" pieces             1    TEMPURA SAUCE RECIPE 
  
       Make several crosswise slits on the underside of shrimp to prevent 
  curling.  Parboil green beans.  Pat shrimp and vegetables dry; arrange on 
  platter; cover and refridgerate until serving time. Prepare batter and 
  sauce recipes.  Do not make batter recipe too far ahead of time. 
       Heat oil in a wok to 360 degrees.  Dep shrimp and vegetables into 
  batter with tongs; allow excess batter to drip into bowl. Fry a few pieces 
  at a time until golden brown, turning once (cooking time approximately 2-3 
  minutes).     This is best prepared close to or at the table. It is great 
  fun to have a "tempura party" with guests cooking their own. Serve with 
  sauce and rice. (you may need more batter mix depending on the amounts of 
  seafood and vegetables you prepare).  Does not keep well once cooked.
