How to cook deliciously - Easy Shrimp Toast

1. Stage

Make sauce: in a small bowl, whisk together mustard and horseradish. Set aside.

2. Stage

If shrimp have tails, remove and discard them. Add shrimp to the bowl of a food processor and pulse into a sticky paste. (Some small pieces of shrimp are ok!) Reserve a small amount of scallions for garnish and add the rest to the food processor along with the egg white, ginger, sesame oil, salt, and optional sugar and fish sauce. Blend until combined.

3. Stage

Divide shrimp mixture evenly between pieces of bread, spreading in an even layer all the way to the edge of each piece. Cut each square in half diagonally to create 12 triangles.

4. Stage

Heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil in a large, high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. The oil is ready when vigorous bubbles form around a piece of bread or the end of a wooden spoon when dipped in. (If using a thermometer, bring the oil up to 375°.)

5. Stage

Carefully place 4 toasts in the hot oil shrimp side-down and fry until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until bread is golden and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove from oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain, shrimp side up. Repeat process with remaining toasts.

6. Stage

Serve toasts garnished with remaining scallions, with mustard sauce on the side.
