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.

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.

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.

Whiskey Shrimp Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by á-3514

Number Of Ingredients 16

SHRIMP:
3 tablespoons sweet cream butter
4 cloves garlic
1/4 cup onion, minced
Juice of 1 lemon squeezed
3 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons. whole grain mustard
1/2 cup tarragon
2 tablespoons butter
2 pounds (44 -48 count) tail off, peeled shrimp
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup Jack Daniels Whiskey
French bread and Olive oil

Steps:

  • Heat butter in a medium sauce pan and cook onion until soft and translucent. Add garlic and lemon juice. When garlic is just soft add heavy cream, mustard and tarragon. Let sauce cook on med-low heat for 30 minutes to reduce by half, stirring occasionally. In a large skillet heat the butter and add shrimp. Toss with salt, pepper and garlic. Cook about 80% through about 1 - 2 minutes (shrimp will continue to cook in sauce). While shrimp are cooking, cut French bread into ½ inch rounds and drizzle with olive oil. Toast in an oven or broiler until crisp. Add the whiskey to the shrimp and flambé to burn it off. Add sauce to cover shrimp in pan and reduce heat to low. Plate the bread toasts and top with 1 shrimp each. Drizzle sauce generously over shrimp and bread.

Tips:

  • Use large shrimp: Jumbo or extra-large shrimp will give you the best results, as they will hold up well to the cooking process and have a more substantial bite.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery, so be careful not to cook them for too long. Cook the shrimp until they are just opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Use a flavorful whiskey: The whiskey you use will add a lot of flavor to the dish, so choose one that you enjoy drinking. A good option is a bourbon or rye whiskey, which will give the shrimp a smoky, caramelized flavor.
  • Don't skimp on the butter: Butter is essential for creating a rich and flavorful sauce. Use unsalted butter so that you can control the amount of salt in the dish.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately: Whiskey shrimp is best served immediately after it is cooked, while the shrimp are still hot and juicy. Serve the shrimp on toasted bread or crackers, and garnish with fresh parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

Whiskey shrimp on toast is a quick and easy appetizer or main course that is perfect for any occasion. The shrimp are cooked in a flavorful whiskey sauce and served on toasted bread or crackers. The dish is sure to please everyone at your table, and it is a great way to enjoy a glass of whiskey.
