How To Make best shrimp toast ever!!

Step 1

Preheat oil to 350

Step 2

Lay your bread slices on a tray.
Step 3

In a separate bowl add diced celery, beaten egg, chopped parsley, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, hot red pepper oil/red pepper flakes, garlic powder, Chinese five spice powder, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and white or black pepper. Mix well.
Step 4

Take a large bowl and add the shrimps, scallions, ginger, garlic, and water chestnuts. Mix together to combine.
Step 5

Place shrimp mixture into a food processor. Pulse a few seconds into a chunky paste.
Step 6

Mix the shrimp paste with the rest of the ingredients in the bowl.
Step 7

Put a generous dollop of the paste onto each slice of bread and spread it evenly using the back of your spoon or spatula.
Step 8

Sprinkle with sesame seeds and slice each into 4 triangles.
Step 9

Once your oil is ready to fry, place a few of the shrimp breads, paste side down into the oil. Fry for roughly 2 minutes each on the shrimp side. Turn them over, when you see the edges turn a golden brown, and fry roughly for a 1 minute on the bread side. Remove them and place them onto a tray lined with paper towel to drain.
Step 10

Serve with Sweet Chili sauce.
