Sesame Shrimp Toast

Looking for a quick snack yet delicious? These sesame shrimp toasts are crispy and incredibly tasty. All of the time I go for Chinese, I order this dish. I made them for my friends, and I must have doubled the recipe. A great hit at get togethers! Give this a try, and these will never stick around for long.

Ingredients:

400 g. / 14 oz. peeled and deveined raw shrimp

1 egg

1 tablespoon canola oil

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 teaspoon fish sauce

½ teaspoon salt

A drop of white vinegar

1 red chili pepper, de-seeded, optional

7 slices white sandwich bread

¼ cup sesame seeds

3 cups canola oil, for deep frying

Directions:

Remove the crust from the bread.

In a food processor, place the shrimp, egg, soy sauce, fish sauce, salt, vinegar and chili pepper if used. Process until the mixture is smooth.

Spread one tablespoon of the mixture onto each white bread, covering the middle and edges as well.

Cut each slice of bread into two triangles.

Place the sesame seeds on a plate. Dip the bread (shrimp side down) into the sesame seeds.

In a heavy bottomed saucepan, heat up the oil to an adequate frying temperature.

Fry the shrimp toast pieces in batches until the bread is golden and the shrimp is cooked through, about 2-3 minutes.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Serve it with your favorite sauce. Enjoy!
