Recipe by /contributors/andy-baraghani These dim sum–style shrimp toasts make a surprisingly simple—and utterly addictive—at-home snack. With this method, you don’t even need a deep fryer to pull them off.

Ingredients

10 ounces shrimp, peeled, deveined 2 tablespoons hot chile paste (such as sambal oelek) 2 teaspoons finely grated lemongrass 2 teaspoons fish sauce (such as nam pla or nuoc nam) 1 teaspoon finely grated peeled ginger Kosher salt 2 scallions, green and white parts separated, thinly sliced crosswise 1/4 cup white sesame seeds 4 slices white bread, 1/4 inch thick, crusts removed Vegetable oil (for frying; about 1 cup)

Instructions

Pulse shrimp, chili paste, lemongrass, fish sauce, and ginger in a food processor until smooth. Season with salt and pulse again to combine. Transfer mixture to a medium bowl; stir in scallion whites. Place sesame seeds on a plate. Spread shrimp mixture over bread slices, extending all the way to edges. Press bread, shrimp side down, into sesame seeds to coat evenly. Pour oil into a large skillet to come 1/4" up sides and heat over medium-high until a small pinch of shrimp mixture sizzles when added to oil. Working in 2 batches, fry toasts, shrimp side down, until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes; turn and cook until other sides are golden and crisp, about 1 minute. Transfer to a paper towel–lined wire rack to drain. Cut each toast diagonally into quarters and top with scallion greens.
