    I had high hopes, but I wasn't thrilled with the outcome. I used frozen shrimp and I didn't squeeze enough water out...my toasts got soggy. I made the mix in advance and baked them the next night. The flavor was good, but I didn't care for the consistency. I doubt I make this again.

    We call these Prawn Toasts in the UK.....and as we lived in the Far East, we ALL love these! I made these for my Mum's 74th Birthday Aperitifs Party! I used sesame oil in place of canola or olive oil....and I used a wee bit more than one tablespoon of garlic! These were elegant, tangy and very tasty - and they were finished in a flash! Thanks Di for another wonderful recipe! FT
