Ingredients

• 300 grams shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon fish sauce
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoons white pepper
• 1 large egg
• 4 slices white sandwich bread
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
• 500 ml vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a food processor, combine the shrimp, garlic, cilantro, fish sauce, soy sauce, white pepper, and egg. Process until the mixture becomes a smooth paste.

Step 2

Trim the crusts off the slices of white bread, then cut each slice into four squares or triangles, depending on your preference.

Step 3

Spread a generous layer of the shrimp mixture onto one side of each bread piece, ensuring the mixture is evenly distributed.

Step 4

Sprinkle sesame seeds over the shrimp-topped side of the bread, pressing lightly to ensure the seeds stick.

Step 5

In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 180°C (350°F). You can test by dropping a small piece of bread into the oil—it should sizzle immediately.

Step 6

Carefully lower the shrimp-topped bread pieces into the hot oil, shrimp-side down. Fry for 1-2 minutes, then flip and fry the other side until the bread is golden and crisp, about another 1 minute.

Step 7

Remove the shrimp toast from the oil using a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 8

Repeat the frying process with the remaining pieces, ensuring you don't overcrowd the pan.

Step 9

Serve the Thai Shrimp Toast warm with a side of sweet chili sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
