Shrimp Toast

Ingredients:

250 g large Shrimps, peeled and deveined

1 small Onion, finely chopped

1/2 knob fresh Ginger, peeled and finely chopped

pinch of Salt

dash of freshly Ground Pepper

2 tbsp fresh cilantro or basil, finely chopped

2 Egg Whites, separated

1 tbsp Corn Starch

White Sliced Bread, cut into triangles

½ cup fine Bread Crumbs

Oil for frying

Instructions:

In a small bowl, mix-in the cornstarch and 1 egg white. Set aside.

Finely chop the Shrimps, and put in a medium bowl.

Add-in the onion, ginger, cilantro or basil, salt and pepper. Mix well.

Add-in the remaining egg white. Mix until well combined.

Place the breadcrumbs in a small bowl.

Brush the top of each bread (on one side) with the cornstarch mixture, and spread about 1/4” of shrimp mixture on top, and coat with breadcrumbs. (You may distribute the remaining cornstarch mixture to the top of each bread with shrimp mixture.)

Place in a baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap, and chill up to 1 hour, if desired.

Pour enough oil to come 1 1/2” up the sides of a large skillet, and heat to 180°C.

Working in batches, add bread pieces to hot oil. Fry the shrimp toast side down; turning occasionally, for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.

Drain on paper towels.

Serve and Enjoy!!
