Steps:

2. Lay your bread slices on a tray.

4. Take a large bowl and add the shrimps, scallions, ginger, garlic, and water chestnuts. Mix together to combine.
5. Place shrimp mixture into a food processor. Pulse a few seconds into a chunky paste.
6. Mix the shrimp paste with the rest of the ingredients in the bowl.
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.
8. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and slice each into 4 triangles.
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.
