  • Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C). Set a wire rack inside a baking sheet and place nearby.
  • In a food processor, combine the shrimp, egg whites, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, sambal, garlic, ginger, salt, and scallion whites and pulse until smooth.
  • Trim the crusts off the bread, then cut diagonally into triangles.
  • Spread 2 tablespoons of the shrimp paste evenly over each triangle of bread. Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the shrimp paste.
  • Add the shrimp toasts, 3 at a time, to the hot oil, shrimp side down. Fry until the shrimp turns pink and the sesame seeds are light golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip the toast over and fry on the other side until the bread is golden, about 1 minute. Transfer to the wire rack and let drain for 1 minute.
  • Garnish the shrimp toast with the scallion greens and serve with soy sauce for dipping.
  • Enjoy!
