Sesame Shrimp Toasts Recipes

Steps:

• Make the shrimp paste: Combine the shrimp, egg white, green onion, cornstarch, rice wine, ginger, salt, sesame oil and pepper in the workbowl of a food processor. Process until the mixture is smooth, stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides.
• Trim the crusts from the bread. Brush 1 side of 1 of the bread slices with the beaten egg and lightly press the nori sheet over the egg. Place the bread on a cutting board, nori side down, and trim any of the nori that extends past the edge of the bread. Spread about 1/3 of the shrimp paste over the bare side of the bread, mounding it slightly in the center. Sprinkle 1/3 of the black sesame seeds over the shrimp paste. With a chef's knife, cut each slice into 4 triangles. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Pour enough oil into a wok or a high-sided frying pan to come to a depth of 2 inches and heat over medium heat to 350 degrees F.
• Slide 3 or 4 toasts, shrimp side down, into the oil. Cook for about 1 minute, turn over and continue cooking until edges are golden brown, about 1 minute longer. Scoop the toasts from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining shrimp toasts. Serve warm.

Steps:

• In a deep-fryer heat oil to 365 degrees. In a food processor combine next 9 ingredients; puree until a slightly chunky paste is formed. Using a rolling pin, flatten bread, one slice at a time. Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of shrimp paste evenly over bread, and roll up in a tight cylinder; brush edge with a little beaten egg to seal and let dry while you make more cylinders.
• When all shrimp paste is used, cut each cylinder in thirds into small logs. Dip both ends of each log into egg, then into sesame seeds. Deep-fry logs, in batches, until golden-brown, about 2 to 3 minutes, turning several times with a metal spoon. Using a slotted spoon, remove shrimp toasts and drain on paper towels; keep warm while you fry remaining batches. Sprinkle with coarse salt and serve immediately.

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.

Steps:

• Slice the baguettes on the bias into one-quarter-inch slices.
• In a food processor, combine the remaining ingredients except the sesame seeds and vegetable oil. Mix thoroughly; the mixture should be spreadable. Spread the mixture on one side of each slice of bread, then roll the side with the shrimp mixture in the sesame seeds.
• Heat the oil in a deep-frying pan or pot to 350 degrees. Fry the toasts shrimp side down. When golden brown, flip each shrimp toast to the other side and cook for one minute. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Mix the prawns with the ginger, spring onion, egg white, cornflour, sesame oil, soy sauce and salt.
• Spread one side of each slice of bread with the prawn mixture, and dip the filling side into sesame seeds.
• Deep fry the toast in hot oil, over a moderate heat - filling side up until golden brown - about 3-5 minutes.
• Drain on absorbent paper and serve straight away.

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.

Steps:

• In a resealable plastic bag, combine the soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, lemon juice, garlic powder and lemon-pepper; add shrimp. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 30 minutes., Drain and discard marinade. In a skillet, saute shrimp in remaining sesame oil until shrimp turn pink, about 3 minutes. Serve with rice if desired. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
