Looking through my grandmother's recipe cards, I found this card which my grandmother ranted and raved about.
Here's what you'll need
- 1/2lb Shrimp
- Some Water Chestnuts (chopped up)
- 1 egg slightly beaten
- 6 slices of bread
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbl cornstarch
- Oil
Start by laying out all of your slices of bread and removing the crust on them. Then, mix everything but the bread and oil together in a mixing bowl. Once the concoction is fully mixed let sit for several minutes while you heat your pan. In a large pan, pour oil into it and to get hot. While its getting hot, take the mixture and spread it over the crust-less pieces of bread. Once the oil is hot enough, place the covered pieces of bread shrimp side down and allow to fry.
Once fully cooked, allow to full cool. It will be hot!! Once cooled enjoy!
Food For Thought: Your wasted food could be a little animal's meal!
Now, I'm not a big fan of wasting foods.. So that bread you cut the crust off? Throw it outside and feed the animals, or nom on it yourself.
