These were GREAT! Very tasty and not greasy at all. I think this is better than we've had at restaurants! It was really easy to prepare, esp if you have a food processor. I fried it in only 1 inch of oil, so you don't need a lot of oil or a deep fryer. The oil temp was 350 and I only fried it on the paste side. The other side browned perfectly without having to flip it. Also, when I put the paste on the bread, I spread the paste evenly (about 1/3" thick) and didn't make a slight mound in the middle, but that's a personal preference. I think using thinly sliced bread that's slightly stale is necessary to ensure the toasts aren't greasy. I cut the crusts off the bread and put them in a single layer on a sheet pan and baked at 200 for 10 min. The bread was hard to find. I went to 3 grocery stores before I found it. The brand (here in CA) was Orowheat Northridge Old Fashioned White Bread. It's a small sized loaf in the bread section. Thank you for sharing an excellent shrimp toast recipe!!

Excellent. Up to now I had thought making Sesame Prawn Toast would be difficult. Suggestion, we found the ginger taste was a little strong. When we next make this recipe we will cut down the amoutn used.
