Shrimp Toast

Hey everyone, hope you're having an amazing day today. Today, I will show you a way to prepare a special dish, Shrimp Toast. It is one of my favorites. For mine, I will make it a bit unique. This is gonna smell and look delicious.

Shrimp Toast is one of the most popular of recent trending foods in the world. It is appreciated by millions every day. It's simple, it's fast, it tastes yummy. Shrimp Toast is something which I've loved my entire life. They are fine and they look fantastic.

Many things affect the quality of taste from Shrimp Toast, starting from the type of ingredients, then the selection of fresh ingredients, the ability to cut dishes to how to make and serve them. Don't worry if you want to prepare Shrimp Toast delicious at home, because if you already know the trick then this dish can be used as an extraordinary special treat.

To begin with this particular recipe, we must prepare a few components. You can cook Shrimp Toast using 26 ingredients and 11 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

I seem to be on a shrimpy roll here. Lol! To be honest, I never like shrimps until I learned how to prepare them properly. Most eateries will cook the shrimps with shells on. Having shells on means deveining is not done and will lead to "seafoody" smell, which is a major turn off for me. Seafood needs to be fresh and be prepped properly to take away the "seafoody" smell. Ever since I had learned the trick of prepping shrimps properly, I began falling in love with them.

This is also the very 1st recipe I had made with shrimps. I had made this shrimp toast quite some time ago and didn't really have the chance to show you lovely people. I guess now is the time. Cos one of my goals for 2019 is to revitalize some of my old recipes. I didn't process the shrimps until it becomes a mousse. Instead, I chopped them up into fine coarse with a cleaver. That way, I get bites of shrimps chunks. You can of cos choose whichever kinda texture as desired.

The trick in making a great shrimp toast is to use a very soft white sandwich bread. Brioche or any eggy rich bread will not work. I find that Japanese white bread produces the best results. As you can see from the photos, I dunked my shrimp toast with a mixture of white and black sesame seeds. The sesame seeds do add another layer of aromatics. Usually, these toasts are being cut into triangles, but I find that cutting them in squares make a better plating. Don't you agree? Anyway, I hope you will give this recipe a try.
