Shrimp And Dill Toasts Food

SHRIMP AND DILL TOASTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Place bread slices on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 5 minutes. Turn slices over; bake about 7 minutes longer or until crisp and very light brown. Cool.
• Spread each toast with 1 teaspoon cream cheese spread; top with 1 teaspoon bell pepper and half a shrimp. Top with 1 sprig dill weed. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate up to 1 hour.

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 TOAST

Steps:

• Put the shrimp and egg white in a food processor and pulse until pasty but still a little chunky. Add the sriracha, salt, sesame oil, black pepper, garlic, scallions and lemongrass and pulse until just combined.
• Divide the mixture among the bread slices and spread in an even layer to the edge. At this point, you can freeze the toasts while you heat the oil (although freezing is not totally necessary, it makes for cleaner cuts and easier handling).
• Bring 1 1/2 inches of oil to 350 degrees F in a heavy-bottomed pot.
• Cut each bread slice into 4 squares and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Carefully place each piece shrimp-side down into the oil. Fry until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove onto a rack or paper towel. Serve immediately drizzled with sriracha.

LEMON-DILL SHRIMP

Steps:

• Divide the shrimp between two 8- or 9-inch pie pans and pat them completely dry with a paper towel. Arrange the shrimp so they lay flat and are evenly spaced in the pans.
• Heat 2 large skillets over medium heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper; add a teaspoon of butter to one of the pans and turn the heat to high. When the foam subsides, invert a pan of shrimp over the skillet so they fall into the pan all at once. Repeat with the other shrimp. Cook the shrimp, without moving them, until they turn golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Add a remaining teaspoon of butter to each pan and turn off the heat. Turn the shrimp over with tongs and cook for 1 minute in the residual heat of the pans. Add half the zest, juice, and dill to each pan, and shake the pan to combine.
• Divide the shrimp among 4 plates or arrange on a platter. Serve hot or at room temperature.

SHRIMP IN DILL BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F with rack in middle.
• Cut bread into 24 (2- by 1-inch) rectangles, then bake in a 4-sided sheet pan, turning once or twice, until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. (Leave oven on.) Transfer to a rack to cool.
• Season shrimp with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Mash together butter, dill, shallot, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Put a dab of dill butter in each ramekin, then put ramekins in sheet pan. Arrange 2 shrimp, with tails up and facing each other, in each ramekin. Spread remaining dill butter in ramekins and bake until shrimp are just cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with toasts.

• Place the breadcrumbs in a small bowl. Spread about 1/4 inch of shrimp mixture onto one side of each piece of bread, and coat with breadcrumbs; transfer to a baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap, and chill up to 1 hour, if desired.
• Pour enough oil to come 1 1/2 inches up the sides of a large skillet, and heat to 360 degrees. Working in batches, add bread pieces to hot oil. Fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels; season with salt, if desired. Serve immediately.
