Chef John's Shrimp Toast image

While virtually unknown compared to most other popular fried party snacks, these shrimp toasts are easy to make and every bit as delicious, and addictive, as those Buffalo wings or jalapeño poppers.

Time 1h24m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

½ pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
¼ cup diced water chestnuts
¼ cup chopped cilantro leaves
½ cup finely sliced green onions, plus more for garnish if desired
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tablespoon finely grated ginger root
1 anchovy filet
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon Asian fish sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce, or more to taste
1 egg white
½ teaspoon white sugar
½ teaspoon paprika
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pinch salt
4 thick slices white bread
1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
1 cup vegetable oil for frying, or as needed

Steps:

  • Place shrimp, water chestnuts, cilantro leaves, green onions, garlic, grated ginger, anchovy filet, sesame oil, fish sauce, soy sauce, egg white, sugar, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse several times; scrape down sides of bowl. Continue to process until mixture is well blended and reaches a paste consistency, 1 or 2 minutes. Transfer mixture to a bowl; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate to blend the flavors, about 1 hour.
  • Very lightly toast bread slices. Trim crusts from bread. Spread shrimp paste onto bread in an equal thickness as the bread. Cut slices in half and then diagonally into diamond shapes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  • Place a heavy skillet over medium-high heat; pour in about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil. When oil is hot, place bread slices, paste side down, into the oil. Fry until crispy, 2 to 3 minute per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve hot or warm garnished with additional sliced green onions.

SHRIMP TOAST



Shrimp Toast image

Shrimp toast is one of the tastiest bites at the dim sum table. I didn't actually like shrimp toast growing up, but when I finally got around to trying it, I couldn't believe how much flavor was packed into one tiny unassuming square. These are crunchy on the outside, soft in the middle and really dangerous because they are so so addictive.

Time 25m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces raw shrimp, peeled, deveined and tails removed (the size does not really matter here)
1 large egg white
1 teaspoon sriracha, plus more for serving
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
5 turns black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced
1 stalk lemongrass, end trimmed, dry outer leaves discarded, bottom few inches of white part bruised with the back of a knife and finely minced
3 slices potato bread (or white bread), crusts removed
2 to 3 quarts neutral oil (vegetable or peanut are fine)
1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Put the shrimp and egg white in a food processor and pulse until pasty but still a little chunky. Add the sriracha, salt, sesame oil, black pepper, garlic, scallions and lemongrass and pulse until just combined.
  • Divide the mixture among the bread slices and spread in an even layer to the edge. At this point, you can freeze the toasts while you heat the oil (although freezing is not totally necessary, it makes for cleaner cuts and easier handling).
  • Bring 1 1/2 inches of oil to 350 degrees F in a heavy-bottomed pot.
  • Cut each bread slice into 4 squares and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Carefully place each piece shrimp-side down into the oil. Fry until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove onto a rack or paper towel. Serve immediately drizzled with sriracha.

1/4 cup heavy cream
8 slices brioche or home-style white bread

Duck sauce or pepper jelly, for garnishing, optional
8 ounces peeled and deveined raw shrimp (about 9 ounces unpeeled)

1 large egg white
2 tablespoons minced green onions, green parts only
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
3 ounces cream cheese, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Combine the shrimp, egg, egg white, green onions, parsley, garlic, salt, and white pepper in a food processor and process until blended but still slightly chunky. Add the cream cheese and pulse until smooth and thick. Add the cream and pulse just until blended, being careful not to over process.

  • Heat the vegetable oil to 360 degrees F in large deep skillet. Add the shrimp toast in batches, coated sides down, and fry until golden on the first side, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Turn and cook until golden on the second side, about 1 1/2 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  • To serve, cut each toast diagonally into quarters. Serve hot, with a drizzle of duck sauce or a dab of pepper jelly, as desired.

DADDY'S SHRIMP TOAST



Daddy's Shrimp Toast image

My father made this for me while experimenting in the kitchen. It was absolutely the most delicious way to use shrimp. I think I've gotten pretty good at making this dish but it still doesn't compare to my father's! Don't be fooled by the ingredients. Most are optional and this is easy to make! Great for parties as appetizers or a main dish.

CREAMY GARLIC SHRIMP TOAST



Creamy Garlic Shrimp Toast image

Sweet, butterflied shrimp in a garlicky cream sauce with a smoky paprika flavor are served over thick slices of buttery, pan-toasted French bread in this simple recipe for two! This sauce would be good over pasta, rice, or potatoes, but I think enjoying it like this is the best way to go.

Categories     Shrimp Recipes

Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 pinch cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
3 cloves garlic, crushed, or more to taste
2 thick slices French bread
6 tablespoons clarified butter, melted, divided
2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
½ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons minced fresh Italian parsley
1 pinch salt, or to taste

Steps:

  • Butterfly shrimp and place in a mixing bowl. Add cayenne, paprika, and garlic and stir until shrimp are evenly coated. Refrigerate until needed.
  • Trim most of the crusts off of the bread.
  • Add 4 tablespoons melted butter to a skillet over medium heat. Add both slices of bread and toast until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove bread to a plate and wipe out any crumbs.
  • Add remaining melted butter to the skillet and increase heat to high. When the pan is very hot and you see the first wisp of smoke, add shrimp and use tongs to spread into an even layer. Sear, without stirring or tossing, for 1 minute.
  • Sprinkle with lemon zest and add lemon juice and cream. Stir with a spoon to scrape any browned bits off the bottom. Let cream boil and reduce for 1 ½ to 2 minutes as the shrimp finishes cooking and the sauce thickens up.
  • Turn off the heat and stir in parsley. Taste and add salt if needed.
  • Divide shrimp and sauce evenly over each piece of toasted bread.

SHRIMP TOAST



Shrimp Toast image

For the most part, the shrimp will tell you when they're done. Certainly they're ready once they're pink, though very large shrimp may need an extra minute to cook through. To check, slice one in half; if it's opaque, or even nearly so, season to taste and start eating.
