SESAME SHRIMP TOASTS
Enjoy a Chinese dim sum favorite with your party guests. The shrimp paste is easy to make, and the deep frying doesn't require a big time commitment. Look for very thinly sliced white bread in the grocery store-if you can't find it, regular sliced bread can be thinned out with a quick pass of a rolling pin!

Steps:
- Make the shrimp paste: Process the egg white, ginger, garlic, 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil, the sherry, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon of the brown sugar and several grinds of pepper in a food processor until all the ginger and garlic are pureed. Add the shrimp, and pulse until a thick paste forms. Transfer to a medium bowl, and fold in 2/3 of the scallions, the celery, water chestnuts and sesame seeds. (The shrimp paste can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.)
- Trim the crusts from the bread, and evenly divide the shrimp paste among the slices (about 2 heaping tablespoons each). Spread out into an even layer that completely covers the bread.
- Make the dipping sauce: Whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil and 1 teaspoon brown sugar, the lemon juice and a large pinch of salt in a small bowl.
- Fry the toasts: Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Fill a large, wide skillet with straight sides, with about 1 inch of vegetable oil. Attach a deep-fry thermometer to the skillet, and bring the oil to 375 degrees F over medium heat. Being careful of the hot oil splashing, put 5 to 6 shrimp toasts in the oil shrimp-side down and fry until the shrimp and the edges of the bread are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the pieces, and continue to fry until the bottoms are golden brown, about 1 minute more. (Adjust the heat as needed to maintain the temperature.) Transfer the shrimp toasts to the prepared baking sheet, and dab the tops with a paper towel to absorb some of the excess oil. Sprinkle the toasts all over with the remaining scallions and some sesame seeds and salt. Cut each toast into 4 triangles, and serve hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
CHEF JOHN'S SHRIMP TOAST
While virtually unknown compared to most other popular fried party snacks, these shrimp toasts are easy to make and every bit as delicious, and addictive, as those Buffalo wings or jalapeño poppers.

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.

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.
SHRIMP TOAST
Shrimp toast is one of the tastiest bites at the dim sum table. I didn't actually like shrimp toast growing up, but when I finally got around to trying it, I couldn't believe how much flavor was packed into one tiny unassuming square. These are crunchy on the outside, soft in the middle and really dangerous because they are so so addictive.

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.
NORDIC SHRIMP TOAST
These decorative toasts have all the flavors of Nordic cuisine and no foraging is required! Delicate shrimp get double-hacked: first, they are quickly cooked in a covered pot off the stovetop and then sliced en masse using a trick involving two plastic lids. A protein-packed snack or part of lunch.

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.

Steps:
- Combine the shrimp, egg, egg white, green onions, parsley, garlic, salt, and white pepper in a food processor and process until blended but still slightly chunky. Add the cream cheese and pulse until smooth and thick. Add the cream and pulse just until blended, being careful not to over process.
- Spread 1/4 cup of the shrimp mixture onto each slice of bread, spreading to the edges and smoothing the top.
- Heat the vegetable oil to 360 degrees F in large deep skillet. Add the shrimp toast in batches, coated sides down, and fry until golden on the first side, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Turn and cook until golden on the second side, about 1 1/2 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
- To serve, cut each toast diagonally into quarters. Serve hot, with a drizzle of duck sauce or a dab of pepper jelly, as desired.

- Heat broiler (set to low if you have that option). Mix shrimp, scallions, capers, red pepper flakes, salt, and ½ cup aioli in a medium bowl to combine. Spread bread slices with remaining 2 Tbsp. aioli.
- Arrange shrimp, cut side down, in a snug, even layer on bread, all the way to the edges. Pack capers and scallions on, under, and between shrimp—wherever they will fit. Press shrimp mixture into the bread to ensure good contact. Place on a plate and chill at least 10 minutes and up to 30 minutes (this will help shrimp better adhere to bread).
- Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large ovenproof skillet over high. Cook 2 toasts, bread side down, 15 seconds, then transfer skillet to oven. Broil, watching toasts carefully, until golden and crisp in spots and shrimp turn pink and curl slightly, 5–7 minutes. (Broiler heat varies widely, so check on toasts every minute or so.) Transfer toasts to a cutting board. Repeat with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil and 2 toasts.
- Cut each toast in half and transfer to a platter. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over.
