Yield Makes 48 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 tablespoon Asian sesame oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 large egg white
2 scallions, chopped
1 large garlic clove, chopped
2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh gingerroot
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 pound shrimp, shelled and if desired deveined
12 slices firm white sandwich bread, crusts discarded
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
about 6 cups vegetable oil for deep-frying

Steps:

In a food processor blend sesame oil, soy sauce, cornstarch, egg white, scallions, garlic, gingerroot, and salt. Add shrimp and pulse until mixture is like paste but not completely smooth.
Divide mixture among bread slices, spreading it evenly to edges, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Cut each bread slice into 4 triangles.
In a 6-quart heavy saucepan heat 1 1/2 inches oil to 350°F. on a deep-fat thermometer and fry shrimp toasts in batches, coated sides down first, about 1 minute on each side, or until golden. Transfer shrimp toasts with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and serve warm.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

10 ounces shrimp, peeled, deveined
2 tablespoons hot chile paste (such as sambal oelek)
2 teaspoons finely grated lemongrass
2 teaspoons fish sauce (such as nam pla or nuoc nam)
1 teaspoon finely grated peeled ginger
Kosher salt
2 scallions, green and white parts separated, thinly sliced crosswise
1/4 cup white sesame seeds
4 slices white bread, 1/4 inch thick, crusts removed
Vegetable oil (for frying; about 1 cup)

Steps:

Pulse shrimp, chili paste, lemongrass, fish sauce, and ginger in a food processor until smooth. Season with salt and pulse again to combine. Transfer mixture to a medium bowl; stir in scallion whites.
Place sesame seeds on a plate. Spread shrimp mixture over bread slices, extending all the way to edges. Press bread, shrimp side down, into sesame seeds to coat evenly.
Pour oil into a large skillet to come 1/4" up sides and heat over medium-high until a small pinch of shrimp mixture sizzles when added to oil. Working in 2 batches, fry toasts, shrimp side down, until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes; turn and cook until other sides are golden and crisp, about 1 minute. Transfer to a paper towel-lined wire rack to drain.
Cut each toast diagonally into quarters and top with scallion greens.

Tips:

Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor and texture.
If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the shrimp by hand.
Be sure to drain the shrimp well before adding them to the mixture.
Don't overmix the shrimp mixture, or the toasts will be tough.
Use a nonstick skillet to cook the toasts so they don't stick.
Cook the toasts until they are golden brown and crispy.
Serve the toasts immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
