Yield Makes 32 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 16

For shrimp filling
1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted
1 1/3 lb shrimp, shelled and deveined
3 scallions, chopped
1 tablespoon Asian sesame oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger

2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
Kosher salt for sprinkling
Accompaniment: apricot dipping sauce

Steps:

  • Make shrimp filling:

  • Make sticks:
  • Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Cover phyllo with 2 overlapping sheets of plastic wrap and then a dampened kitchen towel. Put 1 phyllo sheet on a work surface, keeping remainder covered, and brush generously with butter. Stack 2 more phyllo sheets on top, generously buttering each.
  • Cut phyllo stack in half lengthwise, then arrange 1 half with a long side nearest you. With dampened fingers shape 3 tablespoons shrimp filling into a narrow rope along edge nearest you, then roll up paste tightly in phyllo to form a long thin roll. Make another roll with other half of stack. Make 6 more rolls with remaining phyllo sheets, butter, and shrimp filling.
