How To Make shrimp toast

  • 1
    Peel shrimp. If shrimp is frozen, don't thaw; peel under running cold water. Make a shallow cut lenghtwise, down back of each shrimp; wash out sand vein. Cut shrimp lengthwise into halves. You may buy shrimp that is already deveined to save time.

    Mix shrimp, onions, flour, water, egg, cornstarch, salt, sugar, sesame oil and pepper.
  • 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.
  • 4
    Remove crusts from bread; cut each slice into 4 squares. Place 1 or 2 shrimp with sauce on each bread square.
  • 5
    Fry 5 squares at a time until golden brown, turning frequently (about every 2 minutes). Drain on paper towel and serve.
