Sesame Prawn Toast

Sesame Prawn Toast is a delightful low-carb variation of the classic Chinese dish, featuring succulent prawns blended with aromatic herbs and spices, all atop a crispy sesame seed crust. This dish delivers a burst of flavor while keeping it light and healthy.

Ingredients

• Prawns, peeled and deveined - 200 grams
• Egg white - 1 large
• Garlic, minced - 1 clove
• Ginger, grated - 1 teaspoon
• Spring onions, finely chopped - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Almond flour - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame seeds - 2 tablespoons
• Coconut oil (for frying) - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. In a food processor, combine the prawns, egg white, garlic, ginger, spring onions, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Blend until a smooth paste forms.
2. Transfer the prawn mixture to a bowl and mix in the almond flour until well incorporated.
3. Take a small amount of the prawn mixture and form it into a thin patty, about 1 cm thick. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
4. Spread sesame seeds on a plate and press each prawn patty into the seeds to coat one side evenly.
5. Heat coconut oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the prawn patties sesame-side down into the pan.
6. Fry for 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until cooked through.
7. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels. Serve hot as an appetizer or snack.
