| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Dice shrimp and leek (or scallions) very finely. You can use a food processor for this step to save time. |
| 2 | Mix the diced shrimp and leek with salt, soy sauce, cornstarch, and egg white until well combined. This mixture will serve as the flavorful base for our shrimp toasts. |
| 3 | Spread the shrimp mixture onto one side of each slice of bread. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds over the mixture for an added crunch and flavor. Press down firmly to ensure the mixture adheres to the bread. |
| 4 | Cut each slice of bread into four equal triangles. This will make them easier to handle and serve. |
| 5 | Heat oil in a pan, ensuring it’s at least 1/2 inch in depth, until it’s almost smoking. This high heat will ensure crispy, golden-brown shrimp toasts. |
| 6 | Carefully place the bread triangles in the hot oil, coated side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes or until they turn a beautiful golden brown color. |
| 7 | Flip the toasts over using a spatula and cook for an additional minute on the other side to ensure they’re cooked through and crispy on both sides. |
| 8 | Remove the shrimp toasts from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels to remove any excess oil. |
| 9 | Serve your freshly cooked shrimp toasts hot and crispy, and watch them disappear in no time! Enjoy the irresistible combination of flavors and textures with every bite. |
