Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 32 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup heavy cream
8 slices brioche or home-style white bread
1/2 cup vegetable oil or clarified butter, for frying
Duck sauce or pepper jelly, for garnishing, optional
8 ounces peeled and deveined raw shrimp (about 9 ounces unpeeled)
1 large egg
1 large egg white
2 tablespoons minced green onions, green parts only
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
3 ounces cream cheese, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Combine the shrimp, egg, egg white, green onions, parsley, garlic, salt, and white pepper in a food processor and process until blended but still slightly chunky. Add the cream cheese and pulse until smooth and thick. Add the cream and pulse just until blended, being careful not to over process.
  • Spread 1/4 cup of the shrimp mixture onto each slice of bread, spreading to the edges and smoothing the top.
  • Heat the vegetable oil to 360 degrees F in large deep skillet. Add the shrimp toast in batches, coated sides down, and fry until golden on the first side, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Turn and cook until golden on the second side, about 1 1/2 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  • To serve, cut each toast diagonally into quarters. Serve hot, with a drizzle of duck sauce or a dab of pepper jelly, as desired.

SHRIMP TOAST



Shrimp Toast image

Shrimp toast is one of the tastiest bites at the dim sum table. I didn't actually like shrimp toast growing up, but when I finally got around to trying it, I couldn't believe how much flavor was packed into one tiny unassuming square. These are crunchy on the outside, soft in the middle and really dangerous because they are so so addictive.

Provided by Molly Yeh

Time 25m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces raw shrimp, peeled, deveined and tails removed (the size does not really matter here)
1 large egg white
1 teaspoon sriracha, plus more for serving
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
5 turns black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced
1 stalk lemongrass, end trimmed, dry outer leaves discarded, bottom few inches of white part bruised with the back of a knife and finely minced
3 slices potato bread (or white bread), crusts removed
2 to 3 quarts neutral oil (vegetable or peanut are fine)
1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Put the shrimp and egg white in a food processor and pulse until pasty but still a little chunky. Add the sriracha, salt, sesame oil, black pepper, garlic, scallions and lemongrass and pulse until just combined.
  • Divide the mixture among the bread slices and spread in an even layer to the edge. At this point, you can freeze the toasts while you heat the oil (although freezing is not totally necessary, it makes for cleaner cuts and easier handling).
  • Bring 1 1/2 inches of oil to 350 degrees F in a heavy-bottomed pot.
  • Cut each bread slice into 4 squares and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Carefully place each piece shrimp-side down into the oil. Fry until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove onto a rack or paper towel. Serve immediately drizzled with sriracha.

Time 1h24m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

½ pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
¼ cup diced water chestnuts
¼ cup chopped cilantro leaves
½ cup finely sliced green onions, plus more for garnish if desired
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tablespoon finely grated ginger root
1 anchovy filet
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon Asian fish sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce, or more to taste
1 egg white
½ teaspoon white sugar
½ teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • Place shrimp, water chestnuts, cilantro leaves, green onions, garlic, grated ginger, anchovy filet, sesame oil, fish sauce, soy sauce, egg white, sugar, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse several times; scrape down sides of bowl. Continue to process until mixture is well blended and reaches a paste consistency, 1 or 2 minutes. Transfer mixture to a bowl; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate to blend the flavors, about 1 hour.
  • Very lightly toast bread slices. Trim crusts from bread. Spread shrimp paste onto bread in an equal thickness as the bread. Cut slices in half and then diagonally into diamond shapes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  • Place a heavy skillet over medium-high heat; pour in about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil. When oil is hot, place bread slices, paste side down, into the oil. Fry until crispy, 2 to 3 minute per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve hot or warm garnished with additional sliced green onions.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Make sure the shrimp is cooked through before serving. The shrimp should be pink and opaque, not translucent.
  • Use a good quality bread for the toast. A thick, sturdy bread will hold up better to the creamy shrimp.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the sauce will be thinner.
  • For a more flavorful sauce, add a splash of white wine or lemon juice.
  • Serve the creamy shrimp on toast immediately after it is made. This dish is best enjoyed hot.

Conclusion:

Creamy shrimp on toast is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover shrimp, and it can also be made with fresh shrimp. The creamy sauce is rich and flavorful, and it pairs perfectly with the crispy toast. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
