I fell in LOVE with these while living in Scotland...I can never find them in the US. I think that's a good thing.
This recipe can easily be doubled for a larger crowd.
Ingredients
20 fresh uncooked large shrimp (about 1 pound)
4 eggs
2 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp salt
Pinch pepper
3 slices sandwich bread
1 green onion
3 cups (480ml) vegetable oil
4 Tbls Sesame Seeds
Method
Peel shrimp, removing tails. De-vein.
Since I am lazy, I put all the ingredients EXCEPT the sesame seeds, vegetable oil and sandwich bread into a food processor, making a paste.
Remove crusts from bread (make sure your bread is DRY and not fresh. Day old bread or even older bread works best. If you cannot get old bread, simply toast your bread. Fresh bread will absorb the oil when you fry this mixture) and then slice bread into triangles, going from one corner of the piece of the bread to the next - like an X.
Place one spoon full shrimp paste on each piece of bread
Gently press shrimp to adhere to bread
Dip moist side into the sesame seeds spread out on a plate
Heat oil in wok over medium-high heat until it reaches 375F (190c)
Fry 3 or 4 shrimp toast pieces at a time in the hot oil until golden, 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Drain on absorbent paper
