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: 1 pound (peeled, minced, fresh)
  • yellow onion: 0.5 medium (minced)
  • water chestnuts: 0.5 cup (finely chopped, optional)
  • celery: 0.5 cup (finely chopped, optional)
  • green onion: 1 piece (chopped)
  • crabmeat: 0.5 cup (cooked)
  • egg: 1 piece (beaten)
  • parsley: 1.5 Tbsp (fresh; chopped)
  • sesame oil: 1 tsp
  • garlic: 1 tsp (minced)
  • soy sauce: 5 drops
  • salt and ground black pepper: 0 piece (to taste)
  • soy sauce: 0.25 cup
  • parsley: 3 Tbsp (fresh; chopped)
  • water: 1 Tbsp
  • sesame oil: 1 tsp
  • white sugar: 1 tsp

  5. 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.
