Ingredients

  • 4 shallots
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1 teaspoon minced peeled fresh gingerroot
  • 2 teaspoons dry sherry
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon beaten egg white
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh coriander plus small leaves for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 1 pound shrimp (about 24), shelled, de-veined if desired
  • 12 slices of homemade-type white bread, crusts discarded
  • 1 cup fine fresh bread crumbs
  • vegetable oil for deep-frying
  • ¼ cup pickled ginger (available at Asian markets and some specialty foods shops), drained and cut into julienne strips, for garnish

Directions

1

In a food processor blend the shallots, the garlic, the gingerroot, the sherry, the salt, the sugar, the cornstarch, the egg white, the chopped coriander, and the soy sauce

2

Add the shrimp, pulsing the motor, and purée the mixture until it is paste-like but not completely smooth.

3

Spread 1 heaping tablespoon of the shrimp mixture on each slice of bread, rounding off the top

4

Dip the coated side of each slice in the bread crumbs, shaking off the excess, and cut each slice into 4 triangles. (The shrimp toasts may be prepared up to this point 1 day in advance and kept covered tightly with plastic wrap and chilled.)

5

In a large heavy skillet heat 1½ inches of the oil to 360°F and in it fry the shrimp toasts, coated sides down first, in batches, for 1 minute on each side, or until they are golden.

6

Let the shrimp toasts drain well on paper towels, garnish each shrimp toast with some of the pickled ginger and 1 of the coriander leaves, and serve the shrimp toasts immediately.
