Here is another appetizer I love to have when eating Chinese. When I was younger my mom would try to get me to taste it but I’d always go “ewww Shrimp toast?” I loved shrimp and I loved toast but together? Really? Finally, one day I tossed one in my mouth and fell in love.
This recipe was heavy on the onions for my likings, I’d change it up and use maybe a 1 cup tops next time. It’s so easy to make though, and is definitely a nice appetizer to impress folks since it’s not your typical appetizer you make at home. Also, this recipe makes twice as much shrimp mixture then needed for the 8 slices of bread. Either use 16 or cut the recipe in half.
Shrimp Toast
8 very thin white sandwich bread slices
- 1 pound unpeeled, medium-size shrimp (since it’s getting blended you can definitely use frozen!)
- 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
- 1 (1/4 inch) piece of fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
- 2 egg whites
- 1/2 cup fine, dry plain breadcrumbs
- vegetable oil
- Garnish- lemon slices
Trim crusts from bread, cut each slice into 4 triangles. Set aside.
Peel and devein shrimp.
Process shrimp and next 4 ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides. With blender or processor running, add egg whites, and process until blended.
Spread mixture over bread;coat with breadcrumbs. Cover and chill for 1 hour.
Pour oil to a depth of 2 inches in a large heavy skillet. Fry, in batches, 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Garnish.
