Shrimp Toasts With Sesame Seeds And Scallions Recipes

Steps:

• Pulse shrimp, chili paste, lemongrass, fish sauce, and ginger in a food processor until smooth. Season with salt and pulse again to combine. Transfer mixture to a medium bowl; stir in scallion whites.
• Place sesame seeds on a plate. Spread shrimp mixture over bread slices, extending all the way to edges. Press bread, shrimp side down, into sesame seeds to coat evenly.
• Pour oil into a large skillet to come 1/4" up sides and heat over medium-high until a small pinch of shrimp mixture sizzles when added to oil. Working in 2 batches, fry toasts, shrimp side down, until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes; turn and cook until other sides are golden and crisp, about 1 minute. Transfer to a paper towel-lined wire rack to drain.
• Cut each toast diagonally into quarters and top with scallion greens.

Steps:

• Make the shrimp paste: Process the egg white, ginger, garlic, 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil, the sherry, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon of the brown sugar and several grinds of pepper in a food processor until all the ginger and garlic are pureed. Add the shrimp, and pulse until a thick paste forms. Transfer to a medium bowl, and fold in 2/3 of the scallions, the celery, water chestnuts and sesame seeds. (The shrimp paste can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.)
• Trim the crusts from the bread, and evenly divide the shrimp paste among the slices (about 2 heaping tablespoons each). Spread out into an even layer that completely covers the bread.
• Make the dipping sauce: Whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil and 1 teaspoon brown sugar, the lemon juice and a large pinch of salt in a small bowl.
• Fry the toasts: Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Fill a large, wide skillet with straight sides, with about 1 inch of vegetable oil. Attach a deep-fry thermometer to the skillet, and bring the oil to 375 degrees F over medium heat. Being careful of the hot oil splashing, put 5 to 6 shrimp toasts in the oil shrimp-side down and fry until the shrimp and the edges of the bread are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the pieces, and continue to fry until the bottoms are golden brown, about 1 minute more. (Adjust the heat as needed to maintain the temperature.) Transfer the shrimp toasts to the prepared baking sheet, and dab the tops with a paper towel to absorb some of the excess oil. Sprinkle the toasts all over with the remaining scallions and some sesame seeds and salt. Cut each toast into 4 triangles, and serve hot with the dipping sauce on the side.

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:

• Combine the shrimp, egg, egg white, green onions, parsley, garlic, salt, and white pepper in a food processor and process until blended but still slightly chunky. Add the cream cheese and pulse until smooth and thick. Add the cream and pulse just until blended, being careful not to over process.
• Spread 1/4 cup of the shrimp mixture onto each slice of bread, spreading to the edges and smoothing the top.
• Heat the vegetable oil to 360 degrees F in large deep skillet. Add the shrimp toast in batches, coated sides down, and fry until golden on the first side, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Turn and cook until golden on the second side, about 1 1/2 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
• To serve, cut each toast diagonally into quarters. Serve hot, with a drizzle of duck sauce or a dab of pepper jelly, as desired.

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:

• Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C). Set a wire rack inside a baking sheet and place nearby.
• In a food processor, combine the shrimp, egg whites, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, sambal, garlic, ginger, salt, and scallion whites and pulse until smooth.
• Trim the crusts off the bread, then cut diagonally into triangles.
• Spread 2 tablespoons of the shrimp paste evenly over each triangle of bread. Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the shrimp paste.
• Add the shrimp toasts, 3 at a time, to the hot oil, shrimp side down. Fry until the shrimp turns pink and the sesame seeds are light golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip the toast over and fry on the other side until the bread is golden, about 1 minute. Transfer to the wire rack and let drain for 1 minute.
• Garnish the shrimp toast with the scallion greens and serve with soy sauce for dipping.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• For the shrimp mousse: In a food processor, add the shrimp and eggs and blend until almost smooth. Add the butter and season with salt and pepper. Pulse until the butter is incorporated, but still visible in small pieces. Gently fold in the ginger and scallions.
• Test a small piece for flavor by sauteing 1 teaspoon in a small nonstick skillet with oil until the mousse is bright pink and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes, or microwaving until bright pink and cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Place the uncooked mousse in an airtight container, cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Makes 4 cups.
• For the shrimp toast: In a large saute pan, heat 2 to 3 tablespoons oil, or enough to generously coat the pan, over medium-high heat.
• Reserve 2 to 3 tablespoons of the scallion greens for garnish. On a plate, gently combine the remaining scallions and sesame seeds.
• Spread 1/4-inch layer of the shrimp mousse on each slice of the bread and sprinkle on the scallion and sesame seed mixture.
• Carefully place 1 or 2 shrimp toasts in the saute pan, mousse-side down and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, drain well and cut diagonally. Repeat with the remaining shrimp toasts.
• In a small bowl, combine the pineapple with the sambal oelek. Start with the 2 teaspoons of sambal oelek and add more as you'd like until you've reached the desired heat level you like.
• On a platter, align the triangles and garnish with the pineapple-sambal salsa and remaining 2 to 3 tablespoons of scallion greens to serve.

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 the bowl of a food processor, combine the shrimp, onion, ginger, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Process until mixture is finely chopped. With the motor running, add the egg whites through the feed tube, and process until well combined.
• Place the breadcrumbs in a small bowl. Spread about 1/4 inch of shrimp mixture onto one side of each piece of bread, and coat with breadcrumbs; transfer to a baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap, and chill up to 1 hour, if desired.
• Pour enough oil to come 1 1/2 inches up the sides of a large skillet, and heat to 360 degrees. Working in batches, add bread pieces to hot oil. Fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels; season with salt, if desired. Serve immediately.
