Ingredients:

1/2   pound         rock shrimp
                    = (or regular shrimp)
1     tablespoon    finely-chopped peeled fresh ginger
1     tablespoon    Asian sesame oil
1     tablespoon    rice wine
                    = (or medium-dry sherry)
1     large         egg white
1/4   cup           diced (1/8") peeled jicama
2     tablespoons   chopped fresh cilantro
2                   scallions, white and pale green parts only
                    Salt
                    Freshly-ground black pepper
6     cups          vegetable oil - (about)
12    slices        firm white sandwich bread - (very thin)
1/4   cup           sesame seeds

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

Pulse shrimp, ginger, sesame oil, rice wine, and egg white in a food processor until a coarse puree forms, then transfer to a bowl. Stir in jicama, cilantro, scallions, and salt and pepper, to taste.
Heat 2 inches vegetable oil in a 3-quart saucepan over moderately-high heat until it registers 375 degrees on deep-fat thermometer.
While oil is heating, divide shrimp spread among bread slices (about 2 tablespoons per slice) and spread evenly to edges. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, then gently press seeds into shrimp spread to make them stick.
Fry 2 bread slices, shrimp sides down, until shrimp is browned, about 1 minute. Turn over and fry until undersides are golden, about 30 seconds. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Fry remaining slices in same manner. Cut each toast diagonally into 2 triangles and serve immediately.
This recipe yields 6 servings.
