Perfect for gatherings or as a gourmet snack, this recipe will provide a delicious twist to traditional toast. The combination of fish sauce, sesame oil, and a touch of heat from red hot chili peppers adds depth to this dish.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a food processor, combine the shrimps, chopped coriander leaves, minced garlic, black pepper, fish sauce, sesame oil, and egg white. Process until you achieve a smooth paste. Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
- Slice the baguette into thin rounds, about 1/2 inch thick. This should yield approximately 15–20 slices depending on the length of your baguette.
- Spread a generous amount of the shrimp mixture onto each baguette slice, ensuring it covers the surface evenly.
- Place the black sesame seeds in a shallow dish. Carefully press the shrimp-covered side of each baguette slice into the sesame seeds to coat the shrimp mixture.
- In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, vinegar, and red hot chili peppers. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar has dissolved entirely and the mixture has slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- Heat a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the shrimp-covered side of the baguette slices down into the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the shrimp mixture is cooked through and the sesame seeds are slightly toasted. Flip and lightly toast the bread side for an additional 1 minute.
- Place the cooked shrimp toasts on a serving platter. Drizzle a small amount of the sweet and spicy vinegar sauce over each toast or serve the sauce on the side for dipping.
- Garnish the toasts with additional chopped coriander leaves if desired.
Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor and texture.
- Be sure to finely chop the coriander leaves, garlic cloves, and chili peppers for a more even distribution of flavors.
- When spreading the shrimp mixture on the baguette slices, ensure an even layer for consistent cooking.
- Toast the baguette slices to a golden brown for extra crunch.
- Consider serving the toasts with a dipping sauce such as soy sauce mixed with a bit of lemon juice for an added zing.
Shrimp and black sesame toasts are a simple yet elegant dish that can be the star of any appetizer platter. With the combination of fresh shrimp, aromatic herbs, and a hint of spice, these toasts will surely be a crowd-pleaser.
