The shrimp is chopped coarsely with the back of a knife, never ground, and the pieces are still there when you bite in.
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Cut off the crusts of the white bread slices and slice each into four equal squares.
- 2
Coarsely mince the shrimp using the flat side of a knife to maintain texture, then place in a bowl.
- 3
Add potato starch, egg white, melted butter, and salt to the minced shrimp, and stir in one direction until sticky.
- 4
Place a round scoop of the shrimp paste onto a piece of bread, cover with another piece of bread, and press gently.
- 5
Pour 500ml cooking oil into a pan and heat it to 130 degrees Celsius.
Add the bread sandwiches and fry at the lower temperature so the shrimp filling cooks slowly before the bread browns too far.
- 6
When the shrimp is opaque and the center of the filling, including the egg white, reaches at least 71C, raise the oil to 150C.
Fry until the bread is evenly golden, then drain.
