How to Make Shrimp Toast

  1. Remove crusts from 4 slices of bread.
  2. In a food processor, combine 1/2 cup cooked shrimp (roughly chopped), 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 clove garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1 large egg. Process until a smooth paste forms.
  3. Spread the shrimp paste evenly over the bread slices.
  4. Sprinkle the bread generously with sesame seeds, pressing gently into the paste.
  5. Cut each slice of bread in half diagonally, then cut each half in half again to create four triangles per slice.
  6. Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  7. Carefully add the shrimp toast triangles to the hot oil, sesame-seed side down. Fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
  8. **Warning:** Watch the toasts closely as frying time may vary depending on your stove and oil temperature. They can burn quickly!
  9. Flip the toasts and fry for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
  10. Remove the toasts from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  11. Serve immediately with your favorite sweet and sour sauce. Enjoy!
