  • Step 3
    Heat vegetable oil (about 1 1/2 inches) in wok at 350 degrees or heavy bottom pan that is deep enough to hold the oil.
  • Step 4
    Remove crusts from bread; cut each slice into 4 squares. Place 1 or 2 shrimp with sauce on each bread square.
  • Step 5
    Fry 5 squares at a time until golden brown, turning frequently (about every 2 minutes). Drain on paper towel and serve.
