                        -Yield: 2 doz.
     1/2   lb           Shrimp -- fresh;raw
   6       sl           White sandwich bread
   2                    Fresh pork fat pieces
                        -1 inch square
   8                    Water chestnuts
   3       tb           Cornstarch
   1       t            Salt
   2       tb           Sherry
   1       sm           Egg -- lightly beaten
   2                    Green onion stalks -- chop fine
                        Sesame seeds
                        Paprika

  PREPARATION: Leave bread out on a platter for 2 hours
  to dry. Trim crusts and cut each slice into 4 squares.
  Shell, devein and clean shrimp. Mince them into a
  fine, pulp like paste. Chop pork fat and water
  chestnuts until fine. Then mix with shrimp, green
  onions, salt, sherry, cornstarch and beaten egg. Mix
  well and spread mixture on the bread, making a slight
  mound on each piece. Sprinkle sesame seeds and paprika
  on the filling and press lightly so they adhere to the
  mixture. COOKING: Heat 4 cups of oil in the wok. Drop
  bread, shrimp side down, into oil and fry for 30
  seconds. Turn and fry on the other side for another 30
  seconds. (This is estimated time, since it depends on
  how hot the oil is. Use your judgment.) Both sides
  should be golden. Drain on paper towel and serve hot.
  DO AHEAD NOTES: Deep fry bread and mixture until it
  becomes a light beige color, then cool and freeze. To
  reheat, preheat oven at 350 degrees, place frozen
  toast in a single layer on a cookie sheet and heat for
  12 minutes. If toast already is thawed, reheat for 5
  to 6 minutes. The toast will become a deeper brown as
  it's reheated. COMMENTS: Another way to serve this
  toast is by cutting each piece of bread diagonally
  into 2 triangles and spread on mixture. Top with a
  halved prawn in a lemon twist fashion and deep fry as
  usual. Arrange toast on a round platter, pin wheel
  fashion. Top with cherry tomatoes or parsley sprigs in
  the center of the pinwheel. Source: "Dim Sum" by Rhoda
