Cantonese Shrimp Toast

Peel and dice shrimp. (Food processor may be used. Pulse to not over-chop the shrimp.) Place in medium bowl. Add flour, baking powder, eggs, oil, and ginger root to shrimp. Stir to mix well.

Toast bread slices. Spread each slice with shrimp mixture. Cut each slice of bread into quarters.

Heat oil in deep fat fryer or large pot to 350 degrees F. Place quarters in hot fat, shrimp side down. Fry for two minutes. Turn over. Fry 1 minute more. Drain on paper towels.

These can be prepared in advance and frozen. To reheat, place in a single layer on cookie sheet. Reheat in 350 degrees F oven until hot through.
