Categories     Appetizers

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ounce pork fat ((30g, optional))
½ pound shrimp ((225g, peeled and deveined))
¼ cup chopped cilantro
2 scallions ((finely chopped))
1 teaspoon ginger ((grated))
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
½ teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 egg white
4 slices white sandwich bread
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
Vegetable oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • If you're going the traditional route and using pork fat, add the pork fat to a food processor and process until smooth. Then add the shrimp, cilantro, scallions, ginger, sesame oil, sugar, salt, cornstarch and egg white. Process until smooth.
  • Divide the mixture among 4 slices of sandwich bread, spreading it evenly out to the ends. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, and lightly press the sesame seeds into the shrimp mixture. Cut each slice into quarters on a diagonal to create little triangles.
  • In a large nonstick or cast iron skillet, heat ⅛ inch of oil until shimmering. Fry the triangles in the skillet, shrimp-side down first, until golden--about 2-3 minutes.
  • Use a spatula to carefully turn them over, and fry the other side for about 1 minute. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Serve immediately!

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.

SESAME SHRIMP TOASTS



Sesame Shrimp Toasts image

Enjoy a Chinese dim sum favorite with your party guests. The shrimp paste is easy to make, and the deep frying doesn't require a big time commitment. Look for very thinly sliced white bread in the grocery store-if you can't find it, regular sliced bread can be thinned out with a quick pass of a rolling pin!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h15m

Yield 40 toasts (12 to 15 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons lemon juice
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 large egg white
1-inch piece ginger, roughly chopped
1 small clove garlic, roughly chopped
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon dry sherry
Kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons light brown sugar
Freshly ground black pepper
3/4 pound peeled and deveined large shrimp, tails removed
3 scallions, thinly sliced
1 small inner stalk celery, very finely chopped
6 whole water chestnuts, very finely chopped
2 teaspoons sesame seeds, plus more for garnish
10 slices very thinly sliced white sandwich bread

Steps:

  • Make the shrimp paste: Process the egg white, ginger, garlic, 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil, the sherry, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon of the brown sugar and several grinds of pepper in a food processor until all the ginger and garlic are pureed. Add the shrimp, and pulse until a thick paste forms. Transfer to a medium bowl, and fold in 2/3 of the scallions, the celery, water chestnuts and sesame seeds. (The shrimp paste can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.)
  • Trim the crusts from the bread, and evenly divide the shrimp paste among the slices (about 2 heaping tablespoons each). Spread out into an even layer that completely covers the bread.
  • Make the dipping sauce: Whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil and 1 teaspoon brown sugar, the lemon juice and a large pinch of salt in a small bowl.
  • Fry the toasts: Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Fill a large, wide skillet with straight sides, with about 1 inch of vegetable oil. Attach a deep-fry thermometer to the skillet, and bring the oil to 375 degrees F over medium heat. Being careful of the hot oil splashing, put 5 to 6 shrimp toasts in the oil shrimp-side down and fry until the shrimp and the edges of the bread are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the pieces, and continue to fry until the bottoms are golden brown, about 1 minute more. (Adjust the heat as needed to maintain the temperature.) Transfer the shrimp toasts to the prepared baking sheet, and dab the tops with a paper towel to absorb some of the excess oil. Sprinkle the toasts all over with the remaining scallions and some sesame seeds and salt. Cut each toast into 4 triangles, and serve hot with the dipping sauce on the side.

SHRIMP TOAST



Shrimp Toast image

For the most part, the shrimp will tell you when they're done. Certainly they're ready once they're pink, though very large shrimp may need an extra minute to cook through. To check, slice one in half; if it's opaque, or even nearly so, season to taste and start eating.

DADDY'S SHRIMP TOAST



Daddy's Shrimp Toast image

My father made this for me while experimenting in the kitchen. It was absolutely the most delicious way to use shrimp. I think I've gotten pretty good at making this dish but it still doesn't compare to my father's! Don't be fooled by the ingredients. Most are optional and this is easy to make! Great for parties as appetizers or a main dish.

CREAMY GARLIC SHRIMP TOAST



Creamy Garlic Shrimp Toast image

Sweet, butterflied shrimp in a garlicky cream sauce with a smoky paprika flavor are served over thick slices of buttery, pan-toasted French bread in this simple recipe for two! This sauce would be good over pasta, rice, or potatoes, but I think enjoying it like this is the best way to go.

Categories     Shrimp Recipes

Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 pinch cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
3 cloves garlic, crushed, or more to taste
2 thick slices French bread
6 tablespoons clarified butter, melted, divided
2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
½ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons minced fresh Italian parsley
1 pinch salt, or to taste

Steps:

  • Butterfly shrimp and place in a mixing bowl. Add cayenne, paprika, and garlic and stir until shrimp are evenly coated. Refrigerate until needed.
  • Trim most of the crusts off of the bread.
  • Add 4 tablespoons melted butter to a skillet over medium heat. Add both slices of bread and toast until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove bread to a plate and wipe out any crumbs.
  • Add remaining melted butter to the skillet and increase heat to high. When the pan is very hot and you see the first wisp of smoke, add shrimp and use tongs to spread into an even layer. Sear, without stirring or tossing, for 1 minute.
  • Sprinkle with lemon zest and add lemon juice and cream. Stir with a spoon to scrape any browned bits off the bottom. Let cream boil and reduce for 1 ½ to 2 minutes as the shrimp finishes cooking and the sauce thickens up.
  • Turn off the heat and stir in parsley. Taste and add salt if needed.
  • Divide shrimp and sauce evenly over each piece of toasted bread.

CHEF JOHN'S SHRIMP TOAST



Chef John's Shrimp Toast image

While virtually unknown compared to most other popular fried party snacks, these shrimp toasts are easy to make and every bit as delicious, and addictive, as those Buffalo wings or jalapeño poppers.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Canapes and Crostini Recipes

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
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pinch salt

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 results, use fresh shrimp. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before using.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the shrimp by hand.
  • Be sure to drain the shrimp well after chopping them. This will help to prevent the filling from becoming too watery.
  • Season the filling to taste. You may want to add more or less salt, pepper, or garlic powder, depending on your preferences.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in the filling. This will add color, flavor, and texture to the shrimp toast.
  • Be sure to spread the filling evenly over the bread. This will help to ensure that each bite is packed with flavor.
  • Bake the shrimp toast until it is golden brown and crispy. This will take about 10-12 minutes in a preheated oven.
  • Serve the shrimp toast hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:
