This is a wonderful appetizer for cocktail parties. It can be prepared ahead and cooked in just a few minutes. Ingredients:
8 oz. cooked, shelled shrimp well drained, and patted dry |
1 egg white |
2 green onions, chopped |
1 tsp. grated fresh ginger |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 tsp. cornstarch |
1/2 tsp. salt |
1/2 tsp. sugar |
2 to 3 dashes hot pepper sauce |
8 slices firm textured white bread |
4 to 5 tbsp. white sesame seeds |
vegetable oil, for frying |
Directions:
1. Put the first 9 ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and process until the mixture forms a smooth paste, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally.
2. Spread the shrimp paste evenly over the bread slices, then sprinkle the sesame seeds over the paste, pressing them down to make them stick.
3. Remove the crusts, then cut each slice diagonally into 4 triangles, then cut each triangle in half again (you will have 64 triangles in total).
4. Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy saucepan or wok, until hot but not smoking (about 350ºF)
5. Fry the shrimp-coated triangles for 30 to 60 seconds, turning once.
6. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
