Instructions

1. Prepare Shrimp Paste

1. Take each shrimp and smash it flat under the broad side of a heavy cleaver.
2. Add smashed shrimp to a large metal bowl. Pick up the mass and slam it back into the bowl repeatedly to develop a paste-like consistency throughout.
3. Continue until shrimp have a dough-like consistency. If any stubborn pieces remain, take them out and smash individually with the knife.

2. Prep Bread

1. Cut bread slices into squares, then diagonally into triangles.
2. Spread a thin layer of butter on both sides of each triangle.

3. Assemble and Fry

1. Spread a thin layer of shrimp paste on one side of each bread triangle.
2. Fry the shrimp toast in oil until the bread is golden and the shrimp is fully cooked.

4. Drain and Serve

1. Drain oil-side down (bread down) to remove as much oil as possible.
2. Serve immediately while hot.
