Ingredients:
1/2 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined |
1 large egg white |
2 tablespoons chopped yellow onions |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon cayenne |
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil, plus 2 tablespoons |
2 large egg yolks |
1/4 cup water |
16 slices white bread, crusts removed |
6 tablespoons vegetable oil |
parsley, for garnish |
Directions:
1. Put the shrimp, egg white, onions, cilantro, salt, cayenne, and 1/2 teaspoon of the sesame oil in a food processor and pulse 2 or 3 times to finely chop. Do not puree. Put the egg yolks, the remaining 2 tablespoons sesame oil and the water in a shallow bowl and whisk to blend.
2. Spread equal amounts of the shrimp mixture onto 8 slices of the bread. Top with the remaining slices of the bread. Press together gently but firmly.
3. Heat 3 tablespoons of the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Dip 4 of the sandwiches in the egg mixture, coating them evenly on both sides. Fry until golden brown, about 4 minutes on each side. Remove from the skillet. Repeat the process with the remaining 3 tablespoons vegetable oil and sandwiches.
4. Slice each sandwich into 4 triangles, place on a serving plate and garnish with parsley.
