Ingredients:

10oz (300g) peeled and deveined cooked shrimp

2 garlic cloves, peeled but left whole

small handful of fresh cilantro

1 red chile, seeded and finely chopped

juice of 1 lime

sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

4 slices white bread

4 1⁄2oz (125g) sesame seeds

Method:

1 Preheat the broiler to its highest setting. Blend or process the shrimp, garlic, cilantro, chile, and lime juice to a paste. Season well with sea salt and black pepper, and blend again briefly.

2 Lightly toast the bread, then spoon the shrimp mixture evenly over one side of each of the toasts. Spread to cover completely, pressing the mixture down firmly.

3 Lightly oil a baking sheet, and pour in the sesame seeds in an even layer. Place the toasts, shrimp-side down, on the seeds, and press so that the seeds stick and coat the mixture. Carefully flip the toasts over, and cut them into triangles.

4 Slide the baking sheet under the hot broiler, and cook the toasts for a few minutes, until the sesame seeds begin to turn golden. Keep a careful eye on them, as they can burn very quickly. Serve immediately.
