Shrimp Toast

I seem to be on a shrimpy roll here. Lol! To be honest, I never like shrimps until I learned how to prepare them properly. Most eateries will cook the shrimps with shells on. Having shells on means deveining is not done and will lead to "seafoody" smell, which is a major turn off for me. Seafood needs to be fresh and be prepped properly to take away the "seafoody" smell. Ever since I had learned the trick of prepping shrimps properly, I began falling in love with them.This is also the very 1st recipe I had made with shrimps. I had made this shrimp toast quite some time ago and didn't really have the chance to show you lovely people. I guess now is the time. Cos one of my goals for 2019 is to revitalize some of my old recipes. I didn't process the shrimps until it becomes a mousse. Instead, I chopped them up into fine coarse with a cleaver. That way, I get bites of shrimps chunks. You can of cos choose whichever kinda texture as desired.The trick in making a great shrimp toast is to use a very soft white sandwich bread. Brioche or any eggy rich bread will not work. I find that Japanese white bread produces the best results. As you can see from the photos, I dunked my shrimp toast with a mixture of white and black sesame seeds. The sesame seeds do add another layer of aromatics. Usually, these toasts are being cut into triangles, but I find that cutting them in squares make a better plating. Don't you agree? Anyway, I hope you will give this recipe a try.

I don't really know how to prepare fresh shrimp, so I only use frozen. I wanted to make a kind of toast that even my husband who loves Japanese food would enjoy.To fully enjoy the chewy texture of the shrimp, don't chop too finely. Recipe by Marrietty

Hatoshi or Japanese Shrimp Toast was originally introduced from China in the Meiji period thru the port of Nagasaki. Hatoshi, a loan word from Cantonese. Ha means shrimp or prawn, to shi means toast. It is a fusion cuisine combining prawn paste with toast. Some variant are made of pork or fish and have been served in many Chinese restaurants and shops in Nagasaki, Japan.This dish is great for party appetizers, as well as a main dish. You can prepare ahead and reheat in the oven right before serving. You can easily make this dish gluten free by using gluten free bread and gluten free soy sauce. This recipe uses four sandwich breads. Increase the amount if you are making for more people.Here is the YouTube video link to this recipe: https://youtu.be/sRBfSrqnrk4

This is a recipe from the Chicago Sunday Trib which looks like either a great appetizer or breakfast!

This delicious, versatile recipe can be made as a main dish, side dish, or appetizer; just size your bread accordingly. You can also add leftover cooked meats to the mix, as I did.

Easy to make, these are great as an appetizer/starter, snack or light lunch or supper. I served these as an appetizer recently (slices cut in half for eating with fingers) and they were a great hit with everyone - they disappeared off the plate so fast!Recipe source: BBC Good Food.#nikicuisine #mycookbook

#mysterybox2Creamy Corn Toasts is a delicious breakfast dish which can even double up as an evening snack or even as a light dinner. Just as the name suggests, the overall taste is creamy and when teamed with whole wheat bread, it becomes healthy too!Sweet corn has a number of health benefits and it’s sweet taste imparts a wonderful flavour to the dishes in which it is used! In this recipe, I have ground 2/3 rd of the boiled corn to make it creamy and teamed it with some white sauce. The rest of the corn has been kept whole for the added crunch! The cheddar and pizza cheese just adds up to the overall taste and makes this dish quite filling too!

I combined a sunny side up and broccoli on toast and drizzled with sweet chili sauce, and it was good.Nothing to note. It's delicious when you eat the broccoli with the yolk. You can use mayonnaise or soy sauce instead of sweet chili sauce. Recipe by Crepemeter
