SESAME SHRIMP TOASTS



Sesame Shrimp Toasts image

Enjoy a Chinese dim sum favorite with your party guests. The shrimp paste is easy to make, and the deep frying doesn't require a big time commitment. Look for very thinly sliced white bread in the grocery store-if you can't find it, regular sliced bread can be thinned out with a quick pass of a rolling pin!

Time 1h15m

Yield 40 toasts (12 to 15 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons lemon juice
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 large egg white
1-inch piece ginger, roughly chopped
1 small clove garlic, roughly chopped
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon dry sherry
Kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons light brown sugar
Freshly ground black pepper
3/4 pound peeled and deveined large shrimp, tails removed
3 scallions, thinly sliced
1 small inner stalk celery, very finely chopped
6 whole water chestnuts, very finely chopped
2 teaspoons sesame seeds, plus more for garnish
10 slices very thinly sliced white sandwich bread

Steps:

  • Make the shrimp paste: Process the egg white, ginger, garlic, 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil, the sherry, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon of the brown sugar and several grinds of pepper in a food processor until all the ginger and garlic are pureed. Add the shrimp, and pulse until a thick paste forms. Transfer to a medium bowl, and fold in 2/3 of the scallions, the celery, water chestnuts and sesame seeds. (The shrimp paste can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.)
  • Trim the crusts from the bread, and evenly divide the shrimp paste among the slices (about 2 heaping tablespoons each). Spread out into an even layer that completely covers the bread.
  • Make the dipping sauce: Whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil and 1 teaspoon brown sugar, the lemon juice and a large pinch of salt in a small bowl.
  • Fry the toasts: Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Fill a large, wide skillet with straight sides, with about 1 inch of vegetable oil. Attach a deep-fry thermometer to the skillet, and bring the oil to 375 degrees F over medium heat. Being careful of the hot oil splashing, put 5 to 6 shrimp toasts in the oil shrimp-side down and fry until the shrimp and the edges of the bread are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the pieces, and continue to fry until the bottoms are golden brown, about 1 minute more. (Adjust the heat as needed to maintain the temperature.) Transfer the shrimp toasts to the prepared baking sheet, and dab the tops with a paper towel to absorb some of the excess oil. Sprinkle the toasts all over with the remaining scallions and some sesame seeds and salt. Cut each toast into 4 triangles, and serve hot with the dipping sauce on the side.

SHRIMP TOAST



Shrimp Toast image

Shrimp toast is one of the tastiest bites at the dim sum table. I didn't actually like shrimp toast growing up, but when I finally got around to trying it, I couldn't believe how much flavor was packed into one tiny unassuming square. These are crunchy on the outside, soft in the middle and really dangerous because they are so so addictive.

Time 25m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces raw shrimp, peeled, deveined and tails removed (the size does not really matter here)
1 large egg white
1 teaspoon sriracha, plus more for serving
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
5 turns black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced
1 stalk lemongrass, end trimmed, dry outer leaves discarded, bottom few inches of white part bruised with the back of a knife and finely minced
3 slices potato bread (or white bread), crusts removed
2 to 3 quarts neutral oil (vegetable or peanut are fine)
1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Put the shrimp and egg white in a food processor and pulse until pasty but still a little chunky. Add the sriracha, salt, sesame oil, black pepper, garlic, scallions and lemongrass and pulse until just combined.
  • Divide the mixture among the bread slices and spread in an even layer to the edge. At this point, you can freeze the toasts while you heat the oil (although freezing is not totally necessary, it makes for cleaner cuts and easier handling).
  • Bring 1 1/2 inches of oil to 350 degrees F in a heavy-bottomed pot.
  • Cut each bread slice into 4 squares and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Carefully place each piece shrimp-side down into the oil. Fry until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove onto a rack or paper towel. Serve immediately drizzled with sriracha.

SHRIMP AND WATER CHESTNUT TOASTS



Shrimp and Water Chestnut Toasts image

From Food & Wine, March 2006. I avoid anything fried, but this is done so briefly that there isn't much greasiness. I am hoping that maybe with some experimentation I can avoid that step altogether - maybe put the toasts under the broiler for a minute?

SESAME CRUSTED SHRIMP WITH CILANTRO-LIME SAUCE



Sesame Crusted Shrimp With Cilantro-Lime Sauce image

These delicately seasoned shrimp pair well with taste buds. True! Position head over plate; open mouth; inhale.

Provided by Sandi From CA

Categories     Asian

Time 28m

Yield 24 shrimp

Number Of Ingredients 13

24 medium uncooked shrimp, peeled and deveined (about 1 pound)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
4 tablespoons white sesame seeds, toasted
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon powdered cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon light sesame oil
2 scallions, cleaned and chopped
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
24 small metal skewers (if using toothpicks, soak them in water for 30 minutes before using so that they don't burn in the o) or 24 small wooden toothpicks (if using toothpicks, soak them in water for 30 minutes before using so that they don't burn in the o)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Toss the shrimp with the vegetable oil, salt, and pepper. Dip one side of each shrimp in the toasted sesame seeds. Skewer with a toothpick. I actually threaded several on a metal skewer and dipped one side of that group of shrimp in the toasted sesame seeds at the same time. Much easier and you don't lose seeds while threading since you're doing that part last.
  • When the oven is heated, place the skewered shrimp (sesame seeds on top) on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake 6 to 10 minutes (depending on your oven), until the shrimp are firm to the touch.
  • For the dipping sauce, put the remaining ingredients into bowl and mix until blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with the warm shrimp.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp will give your shrimp toasts the best flavor. If you can't find fresh shrimp, you can use frozen shrimp, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Chop the shrimp finely. This will help the shrimp toasts to hold together better.
  • Use a food processor to make the shrimp paste. This will make the shrimp paste smooth and easy to spread.
  • Season the shrimp paste well. Use a variety of spices and herbs to give the shrimp paste a delicious flavor.
  • Use a thin layer of shrimp paste on the bread. This will help the shrimp toasts to cook evenly.
  • Fry the shrimp toasts in hot oil. This will help them to get crispy and golden brown.
  • Serve the shrimp toasts immediately. They are best when served hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Shrimp toasts are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be served as a main course. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make shrimp toasts that are sure to impress your friends and family.
