Best Shrimp Toast With Pickled Ginger Recipes

SHRIMP TOAST

Steps:

• If you're going the traditional route and using pork fat, add the pork fat to a food processor and process until smooth. Then add the shrimp, cilantro, scallions, ginger, sesame oil, sugar, salt, cornstarch and egg white. Process until smooth.
• Divide the mixture among 4 slices of sandwich bread, spreading it evenly out to the ends. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, and lightly press the sesame seeds into the shrimp mixture. Cut each slice into quarters on a diagonal to create little triangles.
• In a large nonstick or cast iron skillet, heat ⅛ inch of oil until shimmering. Fry the triangles in the skillet, shrimp-side down first, until golden--about 2-3 minutes.
• Use a spatula to carefully turn them over, and fry the other side for about 1 minute. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Serve immediately!

CHEF JOHN'S SHRIMP TOAST

Steps:

• Place shrimp, water chestnuts, cilantro leaves, green onions, garlic, grated ginger, anchovy filet, sesame oil, fish sauce, soy sauce, egg white, sugar, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse several times; scrape down sides of bowl. Continue to process until mixture is well blended and reaches a paste consistency, 1 or 2 minutes. Transfer mixture to a bowl; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate to blend the flavors, about 1 hour.
• Very lightly toast bread slices. Trim crusts from bread. Spread shrimp paste onto bread in an equal thickness as the bread. Cut slices in half and then diagonally into diamond shapes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
• Place a heavy skillet over medium-high heat; pour in about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil. When oil is hot, place bread slices, paste side down, into the oil. Fry until crispy, 2 to 3 minute per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve hot or warm garnished with additional sliced green onions.

SHRIMP TOAST WITH FRESH GINGER

Steps:

• With the machine running, drop the scallions and ginger into the bowl of a food processor to mince them. Shut the machine off, add the shrimp and prosciutto and process until the mixture is well mixed and chopped fine. This mincing can be done by hand instead of machine.
• Dissolve the cornstarch in the sherry and mix into the shrimp mixture.
• Spread about one tablespoon of the mixture evenly on each slice of bread, spreading it to the edges. Cut each slice of bread in four on the diagonal to make triangles. Dip the shrimp side of each triangle in the bread crumbs to coat it lightly. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Heat the oil in a wok or skillet. Fry the triangles a few at a time shrimp side down first until lightly brown, then turn to fry the bread side. Drain on absorbent paper, then serve, or freeze to reheat in the oven and serve later.
