Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 large egg white
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 4 slices white bread, crusts removed
- 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 250 milliliters vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Place the raw shrimp, egg white, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a food processor. Blend until you achieve a smooth paste.
Transfer the shrimp mixture to a bowl and stir in the chopped green onions.
Lay out the slices of white bread and evenly spread the shrimp mixture on one side of each slice.
Sprinkle sesame seeds generously over the shrimp-topped side of the bread and press gently to adhere them.
Cut each slice of bread into triangles or smaller bite-sized pieces, depending on your preference.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 175°C (350°F). To test, drop a small piece of bread into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
Carefully add the shrimp-topped bread pieces to the hot oil, shrimp side down. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden and crispy and the shrimp paste is cooked through.
Remove the shrimp toasts using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or soy sauce.
