Half a pound of uncooked shrimps (prawns in the UK)
Two slices of bread (I used whole wheat, use any type)
1 stick of lemongrass
an inch of ginger
1-2 cloves of garlic
1-2 kaffia lime leaf
sprinkle of galgangal
drizzle of sesame oil
dash of light soy sauce
Sesame seeds (I used black and white but just white only works)
Instructions:
Place a baking try in the oven and pre heat to 350
chop up the ginger, garlic, lemongrass, lime leaf and add to a blender
clean the shrimps and chop each 1 into 4 piece and add them
pulse the mix until it forms a big gooey ball You can toast the bread first but allow it to cool completely before adding the spread. Fill a shallow bowl with sesame seeds. Spread the shrimp on once side of the bread nice and evenly and along the edges if you can. then drop it gooey side down in the seeds and spread the other side. Now sprinkle some seeds on the top side so you can flip it over and completely coat in seeds. Heat a little olive oil in a pan to a medium heat. add the slices and cook on both sides a 2-3 minutes carful not to burn the seeds. Then transfer to the oven and cook for a further 3 minutes. Cut in half and serve with your favorite dipping sauce. I made a Thai inspired sauce with chili sauce, lime, rice vinegar, soy and ginger
