Shrimp Toast - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 lb. cooked and peeled shrimp
18 water chestnuts
3 eggs
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. dry sherry
3 Tbsp. minced scallions
2 1/2 Tbsp. cornstarch
18 slices firm thinly sliced white bread
peanut oil or other oil (for frying)

Preparation

Finely chop the shrimp and water chestnuts together.
Beat the eggs, then beat in the shrimp mixture, salt, sugar, sherry, scallions and cornstarch.
This can be done in a food processor. Remove the crusts from the bread and cut each slice into 4 triangles.
Spread each triangle with the shrimp mixture.
In a large skillet, heat oil 1-inch deep to 375\u00b0.
Put in the triangles shrimp side down and cook until they are lightly browned.
(These cook fast so don't overload frying pan.)
Turn and cook until the toast is golden.
Drain on paper towels.
Keep Shrimp Toast warm in a 200\u00b0 oven until ready to serve.
