Instructions

1. Get all your ingredients ready.
2. Prepare the shrimp paste: In a bowl, combine shrimp, onion, water chestnuts, celery, and green onion. Add crabmeat, egg, parsley, sesame oil, garlic, soy sauce, salt, and pepper; mix well.
3. Create the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, parsley, water, sesame oil, sugar, and garlic powder.
4. Prepare the toast: Heat 1/2 inch of oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat.
5. Apply a generous layer of shrimp paste to each bread slice, pressing gently to adhere.
6. Fry bread in batches, paste-side down, in the heated oil until golden and the shrimp turns pink, about 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip and cook until the bread is golden brown, around 1 minute. Place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
7. Cut the shrimp toasts diagonally and serve with the prepared dipping sauce.
