These dim sum - style Shrimp Toasts make a surprisingly simple and utterly additive at home snack, and with this method, you don't even need a deep fryer to pull them off!!
(makes 4 servings)
10 oz. shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 t. hot chile paste (such as sambal oelek)
2 t. fish sauce
2 t. finely grated lemongrass
1 t. finely grated fresh peeled ginger
Kosher* salt
2 scallions, white and green separated
1/4 cup white sesame seeds
4 1/4" thick slices white bread, crusts removed
Veg. oil
Pulse shrimp, chili paste, fish sauce, lemongrass, and ginger in a food processor until smooth. Season with salt, and pulse again to combine. Transfer mixture to a med. bowl. Thinly slice both colors of scallions. Stir scallion whites into shrimp mixture. Place the sesame seeds on a plate. Spread shrimp mixture over the bread extending all the way to the edges. Press bread, shrimp side down, into sesame seeds to coat evenly. Pour veg. oil into a large skillet to come 1/4" up sides (about 1 cup), and heat over med.-high until a small pinch of shrimp mixture sizzles when added to pan. Working in 2 batches, fry toasts, shrimp side down, until golden and crisp, about 2 mins.; turn and cook until other sides are golden and crisp, about 1 min. Transfer to a paper towel-lined wire rack to drain. Cut each toast diagonally into quarters and top with scallion greens.
