Shrimp Toast Recipe in 30 min

Shrimp toast will quickly take you to the East, in fact they are one of the most popular Chinese dishes in the West! They are prepared by stuffing slices of bread for sandwiches with a shrimp cream, they are then passed in the egg and covered with sesame seeds, the shrimp toasts are then fried until golden and crispy. 

They are prepared in just half an hour and are a delicious appetizer not to be missed if you are organizing an ethnic dinner . For the sake of completeness of information, I tell you that in the filling there would also be some water chestnuts, here we are not easily available, if not canned in Asian supermarkets, but if you can find them put them;)

How to make shrimp toast

Fry a clove of garlic in a pan with the oil, then add the shrimp, salt and a grated fresh ginger. Cook for a couple of minutes.

Remove the garlic and put the prawns in a blender with the cornstarch and soy sauce.

Blend until creamy, then put the mixture in a bowl and add a whipped egg white.
Mix until you get a cream.
Spread the prawn cream on two slices of sandwich bread.
Then cover with the other 2 slices.

Now cut into triangles starting from 4 squares.
In a deep dish mix the yolk, egg and a pinch of salt, then wet the toast on both sides.
Transfer the toast to the sesame seeds and cover the sides.

Fry them now in a pan with boiling oil, making them brown.

Your prawn toasts are ready to be served hot.
