JAPANESE SHRIMP TOASTS

Steps:

• Pulse white and light-green scallion parts with garlic and ginger in a food processor until finely chopped. Add shrimp, miso, and lime zest and juice; season with salt and pepper. Pulse until mixture becomes a sticky paste. Divide among bread slices (3 tablespoons each), spreading evenly to edges. Sprinkle tops with sesame seeds, gently pressing with flattened palms to adhere.
• Heat 1/2 inch oil in a large straight-sided skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium. When oil shimmers, add shrimp bread, sesame-side down, in a single layer (3 to 4 pieces at a time, depending on size of skillet). Fry until shrimp paste is golden brown and just cooked through, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until golden on bottoms, about 1 minute more. Transfer to rimmed baking sheets lined with wire racks to drain and crisp.
• Thinly slice scallion tops; sprinkle evenly over shrimp toasts. Cut each toast into 4 triangles. Serve warm.

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.
