Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 tablespoon Asian sesame oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 large egg white
2 scallions, chopped
1 large garlic clove, chopped
2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh gingerroot
1 1/4 teaspoons salt

2 tablespoons sesame seeds
about 6 cups vegetable oil for deep-frying

Steps:

In a food processor blend sesame oil, soy sauce, cornstarch, egg white, scallions, garlic, gingerroot, and salt. Add shrimp and pulse until mixture is like paste but not completely smooth.
Divide mixture among bread slices, spreading it evenly to edges, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Cut each bread slice into 4 triangles.
In a 6-quart heavy saucepan heat 1 1/2 inches oil to 350°F. on a deep-fat thermometer and fry shrimp toasts in batches, coated sides down first, about 1 minute on each side, or until golden. Transfer shrimp toasts with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and serve warm.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

10 ounces shrimp, peeled, deveined
2 tablespoons hot chile paste (such as sambal oelek)
2 teaspoons finely grated lemongrass
2 teaspoons fish sauce (such as nam pla or nuoc nam)
1 teaspoon finely grated peeled ginger
Kosher salt
2 scallions, green and white parts separated, thinly sliced crosswise
1/4 cup white sesame seeds
4 slices white bread, 1/4 inch thick, crusts removed
Vegetable oil (for frying; about 1 cup)

Steps:

Pulse shrimp, chili paste, lemongrass, fish sauce, and ginger in a food processor until smooth. Season with salt and pulse again to combine. Transfer mixture to a medium bowl; stir in scallion whites.
Place sesame seeds on a plate. Spread shrimp mixture over bread slices, extending all the way to edges. Press bread, shrimp side down, into sesame seeds to coat evenly.
Pour oil into a large skillet to come 1/4" up sides and heat over medium-high until a small pinch of shrimp mixture sizzles when added to oil. Working in 2 batches, fry toasts, shrimp side down, until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes; turn and cook until other sides are golden and crisp, about 1 minute. Transfer to a paper towel-lined wire rack to drain.
Cut each toast diagonally into quarters and top with scallion greens.

Tips:

Use fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp will have a sweeter taste and a firmer texture than frozen shrimp.
Chop the shrimp finely. This will help the shrimp to bind together and make it easier to spread on the toast.
Use a flavorful bread. A good quality white bread or baguette will work well for this recipe. You can also use a flavored bread, such as garlic bread or herb bread, to add extra flavor.
Spread the shrimp mixture evenly on the toast. This will help to ensure that the shrimp cooks evenly.
Bake the shrimp toasts until they are golden brown. This will take about 10-12 minutes.
Serve the shrimp toasts with your favorite dipping sauce. A sweet and sour sauce or a mayonnaise-based sauce are both good options.

Conclusion:

These sesame shrimp toasts are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are crispy, flavorful, and sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give these sesame shrimp toasts a try. You won't be disappointed!
