My father came up with this easy shrimp toast recipe while experimenting in the kitchen. It's an absolutely 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. Serve as an appetizer or main dish.

Ingredients

Shrimp Paste:

1 pound fresh shrimp, peeled, deveined and finely minced
½ medium yellow onion, minced
½ cup finely chopped water chestnuts (Optional)
½ cup finely chopped celery (Optional)
1 green onion, finely chopped
½ cup cooked crabmeat
1 large egg, beaten
1 ½ tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
5 drops soy sauce
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Dipping Sauce:

¼ cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon white sugar
¼ teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste

Toast:

2 cups oil for frying
8 thick slices white bread

Directions

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.
Make the dipping sauce: Whisk soy sauce, parsley, water, sesame oil, sugar, and garlic powder together in a small bowl.
Make the toast: Heat 1/2 inch oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat.
Spread each slice bread with a thick layer of shrimp paste, pressing gently so it sticks to bread.
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.
Slice shrimp toasts diagonally and serve with dipping sauce.
