Thai Shrimp Toast Recipes

Steps:

• Chop up shrimp and mix with pork.
• In another bowl mix cilantro, garlic, salt, and pepper, then add into shrimp and pork mixture.
• Add in egg and soy sauce.
• Divide the mixture into 10 parts.
• Spread mixture onto the bread and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
• Heat oil in a wok or pan until hot.
• Place bread in hot oil face down; cook until golden.
• Remove and place it on paper towel to remove excess oil.
• Serve with Thai sweet chili sauce.

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:

• 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:

• Saute ginger, onion, chiles and lemon grass until soft. Deglaze pan with fish sauce. Add chicken stock and lime leaves. Simmer and reduce the liquid by 20 per cent. Add vinegar, basil and pepper. Check for seasoning. Strain the soup. Add sauteed shiitakes and fresh enoki mushrooms. Ladle soup in soup plates. Garnish with shrimp toast and scallions.
• In a food processor, puree first 5 ingredients. Check for seasoning. Fold in scallions, cilantro and jicama. Spread the mixture on bread, cut in half on the diagonal and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Heat a deep fryer to 375 degrees F and fry until golden brown.

Steps:

• Butterfly shrimp and place in a mixing bowl. Add cayenne, paprika, and garlic and stir until shrimp are evenly coated. Refrigerate until needed.
• Trim most of the crusts off of the bread.
• Add 4 tablespoons melted butter to a skillet over medium heat. Add both slices of bread and toast until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove bread to a plate and wipe out any crumbs.
• Add remaining melted butter to the skillet and increase heat to high. When the pan is very hot and you see the first wisp of smoke, add shrimp and use tongs to spread into an even layer. Sear, without stirring or tossing, for 1 minute.
• Sprinkle with lemon zest and add lemon juice and cream. Stir with a spoon to scrape any browned bits off the bottom. Let cream boil and reduce for 1 ½ to 2 minutes as the shrimp finishes cooking and the sauce thickens up.
• Turn off the heat and stir in parsley. Taste and add salt if needed.
• Divide shrimp and sauce evenly over each piece of toasted bread.
