CHEF JOHN'S SHRIMP TOAST

Steps:

• Place shrimp, water chestnuts, cilantro leaves, green onions, garlic, grated ginger, anchovy filet, sesame oil, fish sauce, soy sauce, egg white, sugar, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse several times; scrape down sides of bowl. Continue to process until mixture is well blended and reaches a paste consistency, 1 or 2 minutes. Transfer mixture to a bowl; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate to blend the flavors, about 1 hour.
• Very lightly toast bread slices. Trim crusts from bread. Spread shrimp paste onto bread in an equal thickness as the bread. Cut slices in half and then diagonally into diamond shapes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
• Place a heavy skillet over medium-high heat; pour in about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil. When oil is hot, place bread slices, paste side down, into the oil. Fry until crispy, 2 to 3 minute per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve hot or warm garnished with additional sliced green onions.

SHRIMP TOAST RECIPE BY TASTY

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!

SHRIMP BUTTER TOASTS

Steps:

• Make shrimp butter:
• Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté shrimp with salt and black pepper, stirring, until just cooked through, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Transfer shrimp with a slotted spoon to a food processor, reserving skillet (do not clean).
• Cook onion in 1 tablespoon butter in skillet over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape onions into processor and cool mixture to room temperature, about 15 minutes. Add lemon juice, cayenne, and remaining 9 tablespoons butter and pulse until shrimp are finely chopped. Pack shrimp butter into a 2-cup ramekin or serving bowl and chill, its surface covered with plastic wrap, at least 6 hours (to allow flavors to develop). Bring to room temperature 45 minutes before serving.
• Make toast points:
• Put oven rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 400°F.
• Brush 1 side of bread triangles lightly with melted butter and toast, buttered sides up, in a large shallow baking pan until golden around edges, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool. Serve toast points with shrimp butter.

RUSTIC TOMATO TOAST

Steps:

• Toast the bread on both sides under the broiler, on a stovetop grill or over coals, until it is perfectly browned, with a bit of give in the center, about 1 minute per side.
• Pressing down firmly, rub the top of each toast with the garlic. Press the tomato, cut side down, against the toast. Rub to moisten the toast and give it a juicy red color.
• Drizzle with olive oil and finish with a tiny sprinkle of sea salt. Serve immediately.

SHRIMP TOASTS

Steps:

• In a deep-fryer heat oil to 365 degrees. In a food processor combine next 9 ingredients; puree until a slightly chunky paste is formed. Using a rolling pin, flatten bread, one slice at a time. Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of shrimp paste evenly over bread, and roll up in a tight cylinder; brush edge with a little beaten egg to seal and let dry while you make more cylinders.
• When all shrimp paste is used, cut each cylinder in thirds into small logs. Dip both ends of each log into egg, then into sesame seeds. Deep-fry logs, in batches, until golden-brown, about 2 to 3 minutes, turning several times with a metal spoon. Using a slotted spoon, remove shrimp toasts and drain on paper towels; keep warm while you fry remaining batches. Sprinkle with coarse salt and serve immediately.

NORDIC SHRIMP TOAST

Steps:

• Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add the coriander, 2 dill sprigs, half of the lemon zest and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Let boil for 1 minute, remove the saucepan from the heat, add the shrimp and cover the pot. Let the shrimp sit, covered, until cooked through, about 2 minutes. Drain the shrimp and chill in ice water. Once chilled, remove and blot dry. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Chop 2 tablespoons dill fronds and add it to a small bowl along with the juice of half the lemon and the remaining zest. Add the cream cheese and yogurt to the bowl and stir to combine. Spread each slice of toast with the cream cheese mixture.
• Lay as many shrimp as will fit flat between 2 plastic deli container lids; the tops of the lids should be facing each other. Making a fist, press down on the top lid to keep the shrimp in place. Position a sharp knife between the narrow opening of the lids and use a sawing motion to slice the shrimp in half at one time. Repeat with the remaining shrimp. Alternatively, slice on a cutting board.
• Arrange the shrimp (cut-side down), cucumber and radish slices in overlapping decorative rows -- think fish scales -- to cover each toast. Sprinkle each with the remaining dill fronds.

SHRIMP TOASTS

Steps:

• Pulse shrimp, ginger, sesame oil, rice wine, and egg white in a food processor until a coarse purée forms, then transfer to a bowl. Stir in jicama, cilantro, scallions, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Heat 2 inches vegetable oil in a 3-quart saucepan over moderately high heat until it registers 375°F on deep-fat thermometer.
• While oil is heating, divide shrimp spread among bread slices (about 2 tablespoons per slice) and spread evenly to edges. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, then gently press seeds into shrimp spread to make them stick.
• Fry 2 bread slices, shrimp sides down, until shrimp is browned, about 1 minute. Turn over and fry until undersides are golden, about 30 seconds. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Fry remaining slices in same manner. Cut each toast diagonally into 2 triangles and serve immediately.
