Ingredients
  • 1 pound fresh shrimp, peeled, deveined and finely minced
  • 0.5 medium yellow onion, minced
  • 0.5 cup finely chopped water chestnuts
  • 0.5 cup finely chopped celery
  • 1 green onion, finely chopped
  • 0.5 cup cooked crabmeat
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1.5 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 5 drops soy sauce
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 0.25 cup soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
  • 2 cups oil for frying
  • 8 thick slices white bread

Method
 

  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Make the shrimp paste: Mix shrimp, onion, water chestnuts, celery, and green onion together in a mixing bowl. Stir in crabmeat, egg, parsley, sesame oil, garlic, soy sauce, salt, and pepper.
  3. Make the dipping sauce: Whisk soy sauce, parsley, water, sesame oil, sugar, and garlic powder together in a small bowl.
  4. Make the toast: Heat 1/2 inch oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat.
  5. Spread each slice bread with a thick layer of shrimp paste, pressing gently so it sticks to bread.
  6. Working in batches, fry bread, paste-side down, in hot oil until golden and shrimp is pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook until bread is golden brown, about 1 minute. Drain on paper towels.
  7. Slice shrimp toasts diagonally and serve with dipping sauce.
