Gently lower 4 to 6 pieces at a time into hot oil, shrimp side down (mixture will not fall off). Cook Shrimp Toast about 1 minute, then turn over and fry a few more seconds. Drain Shrimp Toast on paper towels and serve with sweet and sour sauce. Servings: 24 pieces of Shrimp Toast, or 6 persons.
Shrimp toasts can be fried, then frozen. When ready to serve, just heat in a 400° F. oven for 12 minutes.
