Yield Makes 6 servings (as an accompaniment to soup or as an hors d'oeuvre)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 lb rock shrimp or regular shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
1 tablespoon Asian sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice wine or medium-dry Sherry
1 large egg white
1/4 cup diced (1/8 inch) peeled jicama
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 scallions (white and pale green parts only), thinly sliced
About 6 cups vegetable oil for frying
12 very thin slices firm white sandwich bread, crusts discarded
1/4 cup sesame seeds
Special Equipment
a deep-fat thermometer

Steps:

  • Pulse shrimp, ginger, sesame oil, rice wine, and egg white in a food processor until a coarse purée forms, then transfer to a bowl. Stir in jicama, cilantro, scallions, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Heat 2 inches vegetable oil in a 3-quart saucepan over moderately high heat until it registers 375°F on deep-fat thermometer.
  • While oil is heating, divide shrimp spread among bread slices (about 2 tablespoons per slice) and spread evenly to edges. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, then gently press seeds into shrimp spread to make them stick.
  • Fry 2 bread slices, shrimp sides down, until shrimp is browned, about 1 minute. Turn over and fry until undersides are golden, about 30 seconds. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Fry remaining slices in same manner. Cut each toast diagonally into 2 triangles and serve immediately.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my shrimp toasts turned out soggy.

I had trouble finding shrimp that was small enough for this recipe. I ended up using chopped shrimp and it worked out fine.

These shrimp toasts were a bit too oily for my taste.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra garlic and ginger to the shrimp filling and it was much better.

I've tried many shrimp toast recipes, but this one is by far the best. The shrimp filling is perfectly seasoned and the bread is toasted to perfection.
