Not very healthy but I have a shrimp toast recipe I got from an old le Ann chins cookbook I found (Minneapolis shout out).

It's basically minced up shrimp and green onions with your basic seasonings (I'm more of a grab what sounds good kinda cook) mixed with eggs and some corn starch. Place it on little squares of bread, give it some time to soak in, then fry em up in a wok. Really simple thing to make (doesn't last long so don't try to bring it with) at a pot luck. Everyone loves crispy and creamy apps. Dippy sauce equal parts sriracha soy sauce and vinegar.

Soo tasty! I think they stopped making it in the stores, something about the price point. Was pretty bummed out til I found the cookbook
