Cut vegetables into 1/4" thick slices. Make diagonal cuts on shrimp to help straighten.
Put cake flour, baking powder, salt in a medium bowl and whisk well.
Add ice water into flour mixture and stir with chopsticks (not whisk) about 10 times. It's OK to have a lot of lumps in batter.
Heat oil to very high temperature (375F). Dip vegetables and shrimp in batter, and deep fry until they float and are cooked through.
