Shrimp Toast

Some people make French Toast for breakfast, I make Shrimp Toast.

This is just what I do!!
For starters Sesame Oil smells like coffee before it is cooked, how weird is that?!
There is a million and one things to make that involves shrimp, and this is one that I love to get from Won Lee's in Deland, but for the small serving you get it is not worth the $, so I decided to make my own.

It is alot better homemade than from a restaurant!!
For example, I like garlic. This recipe does not call for garlic at all, but I added it for a little extra flavor.
I left out cilantro b/c it is a little strong, and i replaced the yellow onion with green onions because their flavor is not as strong.
After cooking it you should add salt and pepper on top for a lil extra flavor.

This is one messy recipe because of all the egg, but it sure is fun to cook because it is so easy and makes a whole bunch of sandwiches (i only cooked half a recipe) and it is very filling.

Hope you enjoy!!

Bon Appetit!!!!!


Here is the recipe:

Shrimp Toast

Ingredients

1/2 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 large egg white

2 tablespoons chopped yellow onions

1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon cayenne

1/2 teaspoon sesame oil, plus 2 tablespoons

2 large egg yolks

1/4 cup water

16 slices white bread, crusts removed

6 tablespoons vegetable oil

Parsley, for garnish

Directions

Put the shrimp, egg white, onions, cilantro, salt, cayenne, and 1/2 teaspoon of the sesame oil in a food processor and pulse 2 or 3 times to finely chop. Do not puree. Put the egg yolks, the remaining 2 tablespoons sesame oil and the water in a shallow bowl and whisk to blend.

Spread equal amounts of the shrimp mixture onto 8 slices of the bread. Top with the remaining slices of the bread. Press together gently but firmly.

Heat 3 tablespoons of the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Dip 4 of the sandwiches in the egg mixture, coating them evenly on both sides. Fry until golden brown, about 4 minutes on each side. Remove from the skillet. Repeat the process with the remaining 3 tablespoons vegetable oil and sandwiches.

Slice each sandwich into 4 triangles, place on a serving plate and garnish with parsley.
