Gingery Shrimp Toasts Recipes

GINGERY SHRIMP TOASTS

Steps:

• Place oven rack 6 inches from broiler heat source. Arrange baguette slices in single layer on large foil-lined cookie sheet. Broil 1 to 2 minutes or until tops are golden. Turn baguette slices over. Brush with some of melted butter; set aside remaining butter and baguette slices.
• In food processor, pulse cilantro, jalapeno, shallot, ginger, sugar, 1/4 cup panko and 1/4 teaspoon salt until finely chopped. Add shrimp and mayonnaise; pulse until shrimp are just finely chopped, stopping and scraping side of bowl occasionally. Divide mixture among baguette slices.
• In small bowl, combine remaining 1/2 cup panko and reserved melted butter. Top each toast with panko mixture, pressing to adhere. Broil 1 to 2 minutes or until browned and shrimp are cooked through. Serve topped with sesame seeds and cilantro leaves.

SHRIMP TOAST WITH FRESH GINGER

Steps:

• With the machine running, drop the scallions and ginger into the bowl of a food processor to mince them. Shut the machine off, add the shrimp and prosciutto and process until the mixture is well mixed and chopped fine. This mincing can be done by hand instead of machine.
• Dissolve the cornstarch in the sherry and mix into the shrimp mixture.
• Spread about one tablespoon of the mixture evenly on each slice of bread, spreading it to the edges. Cut each slice of bread in four on the diagonal to make triangles. Dip the shrimp side of each triangle in the bread crumbs to coat it lightly. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Heat the oil in a wok or skillet. Fry the triangles a few at a time shrimp side down first until lightly brown, then turn to fry the bread side. Drain on absorbent paper, then serve, or freeze to reheat in the oven and serve later.

BAKED SHRIMP TOASTS

Steps:

• Cook garlic and ginger in oil in an 8- to 9-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until softened and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add mirin, soy sauce, and salt (omit salt if making ahead; see cooks' note, below) and simmer, stirring, 15 seconds. Transfer marinade to a bowl and cool to room temperature.
• Add shrimp and cilantro, tossing to coat, and marinate, covered and chilled, 1 hour.
• Put oven rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 350°F.
• Turn bread loaf on its side and evenly cut crust from bottom of loaf using a long serrated knife, discarding crust, then cut a 3/8-inch-thick slice from bottom and trim crust from sides of slice. Put slice on a baking sheet (reserve rest of loaf for another use) and bake, turning over once, until dry but not colored, 8 minutes total. Remove bread from oven but leave on baking sheet.
• Immediately increase oven temperature to 475°F.
• Spread top of hot toast with all of shrimp mixture, packing it down into a thick even layer and covering surface entirely. Make sure oven temperature has reached 475°F, then bake shrimp toast until topping is cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer with a large flat spatula to a rack to cool 5 minutes, then transfer to a cutting board.
• Halve shrimp toast crosswise with a very sharp knife, then cut each half lengthwise into fourths, making 8 strips total. Cut each strip into 4 pieces. Serve toasts warm or at room temperature.

• Spread 1 heaping tablespoon of the shrimp mixture on each slice of bread, rounding off the top, dip the coated side of each slice in the bread crumbs, shaking off the excess, and cut each slice into 4 triangles. The shrimp toasts may be prepared up to this point 1 day in advance and kept covered tightly with plastic wrap and chilled.
• In a large heavy skillet heat 1 1/2 inches of the oil to 360°F. and in it fry the shrimp toasts, coated sides down first, in batches, for 1 minute on each side, or until they are golden. Let the shrimp toasts drain well on paper towels, garnish each shrimp toast with some of the pickled ginger and 1 of the coriander leaves, and serve the shrimp toasts immediately.
