Shrimp Toast

November 06

I remember having these back in Ireland with my parents as a kid in Chinese restaurants, they’re serious comfort food. Who knew bread topped with shrimp and fried was so delicious!?

  • serves Serves 8
  • time 15mins

Method

  1. 1. Combine shrimp, egg, soy sauce, cornflour, and garlic in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until extremely finely minced and everything is evenly combined. Spread the shrimp mixture evenly over one side of each piece of bread. Add enough oil to a large saucepan so that it’s about 1 inch deep and heat to 180°C/350°f. Place the sesame seeds into a wide dish and dip the edges of the shrimp side in, to evenly coat, but leaving most of the shrimp mix exposed.
  2. 2. Using a slotted spoon gently place into the preheated oil and fry in batches for 2 minutes on each side until golden. Remove onto a plate lined with kitchen paper. Repeat until all the pieces are cooked.
  3. 3. While the toasts are frying whisk together the coconut cream, curry paste and lemon juice in a small saucepan over a medium heat, simmer for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
  4. 4. To serve sprinkle the toasts with the spring onions and coriander and serve alongside the sauce.
