Step 6208 Shot
Step 2

Prepare the shrimp filling. In the bowl of a food processor, place the shrimp, egg white, cornstarch, parsley, lemon juice, black pepper and salt.

Step 6209 Shot
Step 3

Pulse until the shrimp is mostly a paste with a few small chunks. Set aside.

Step 6210 Shot
Step 4

Fill a heavy-bottomed pot or a Dutch oven with about three inches of oil. Heat the oil 360°F. Set a wire rack on top of a sheet pan. While the oil is heating, assemble the shrimp toast. Place half of the sliced bread on a plate. Place about two tablespoons of the shrimp filling onto each bread. 

Step 6211 Shot
Step 5

Top with the other half of the sliced bread and press down slightly to sandwich the shrimp toast. Use a spatula to smooth the sides of the shrimp toast, making it a smooth cube. 

Step 6212 Shot
Step 6

Fry the shrimp toast in batches until golden brown on both sides, about 10 minutes. 

Step 6213 Shot
Step 7

Transfer the shrimp toast to the prepared wire rack and let drain. 

Step 6214 Shot
Step 8

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with Sriracha aioli or any other dipping sauce you desire. Shrimp toast pairs perfectly with a cold glass of beer. Enjoy!

Step 6215 Shot

Notes:

  1. Sriracha aioli is a creamy dipping sauce that goes perfectly with these shrimp toasts.
  2. If your white bread is more rectangular and smaller than the conventional square, such as an Italian loaf, cut the bread in half to form squares rather than fourths.
