Super easy to make and SO delicious! I’m making Shrimp de Jonghe for dinner & decided to use some of that 🍤 for our favorite appetizer.
INGREDIENTS <
uncooked shrimp peeled, deveined and 5 waterchestnuts or equivalent celery minced
1 teaspoon ginger root finely minced
1 egg lightly beaten
1½ teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon sherry
½ teaspoon salt
dash pepper
4 slices white bread
oil for deep frying
DIRECTIONS<
mix shrimp, ginger, water chestnuts with beaten egg, corn starch, sherry, salt and pepper. Blend well. Trim crusts off bread. Spread shrimp mixture evenly over bread and then slice into 4 squares or 4 triangles. To prevent knife from sticking during the spreading, dip blade 1st in cold water. Heat oil to smoking. Place bread shrimp side down on a slotted spoon; then gently lower into oil. Reduce heat slightly. Deep fry til golden brown. Drain on paper toweling.
* I don’t typically have white bread at home so I substituted some bakery sliced Vienna.
