Ingredients

• 250 grams Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 large Egg white
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 2 stalks Green onion, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 pieces White bread slices, crusts removed
• 3 tablespoons White sesame seeds
• 500 milliliters Vegetable oil, for frying

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the shrimp paste: Add the peeled and deveined shrimp, egg white, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onion, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and salt to a food processor. Blend until a smooth paste forms.

Step 2

Prepare the bread: Take the slices of white bread and remove the crusts. Cut each slice diagonally into two triangles.

Step 3

Spread the shrimp paste: Take a generous amount of the shrimp paste and spread it evenly onto one side of each bread triangle. Make sure the paste is evenly distributed and smooth.

Step 4

Add sesame seeds: Sprinkle sesame seeds over the shrimp paste layer on each triangle, gently pressing them down so they adhere to the surface.

Step 5

Heat the oil: In a deep skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 6

Fry the shrimp toast: Carefully place the bread triangles, shrimp-side down, into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes, then flip and fry the other side for 1-2 minutes until the bread is golden and crispy.

Step 7

Drain the toast: Remove the shrimp toast from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 8

Serve: Allow the shrimp toast to cool slightly, then serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or soy sauce.
