Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha adjust to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup green onions finely chopped
  • 8 slices of white bread
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Method
 

  1. In a food processor, combine the shrimp, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, sriracha, black pepper, and green onions. Pulse until the mixture is smooth but still slightly chunky.
  2. Spread a generous layer of the shrimp mixture onto each slice of bread, covering it completely.
  3. Set up a breading station: Place the flour in one shallow dish, the beaten egg in another, and the panko breadcrumbs in a third.
  4. Dredge each slice of bread with shrimp in the flour, then dip it into the egg, and finally coat it with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. In a large skillet, heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the bread slices, shrimp side down, in batches. Fry for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. Remove the toast from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve hot, garnished with extra green onions or a drizzle of sriracha if desired.
