What is up with the unnatural intonations? These are awkward to watch. Good content. Just speak normally please.

[@jeffward1106]

There's a term; comfort food. My new term; comfort food videos. Chef John videos comforts me.

This channel helps me actually get up and make food despite sometimes being too depressed to get out of bed. Thank you.

[@theresaoneill6525]

I hope things have gotten betterforyou

[@alliemollie]

This is amazing. I just had my mom's shrimp cakes last night... the seasoning was almost identical to chef john's. She used fresh water chestnuts and didn't put paprika or cayenne. Also after she manually made the shrimp paste (i.e. not via a blender) and seasoned it, she put it in the fridge UNCOVERED for an hour. I asked her why and she said that would help remove the moisture in the paste and make the shrimp cake texture much better. I wonder if this step is needed for shrimp toasts. Anyway, love mom's recipe and think this one is great also!

[@kathleensmith8365]

I still remember the first time I had shrimp toast. Heaven! Not many restaurants seem to make this dish these days. Bless you, Chef John! I Will be making this.

[@lauragriffin6512]

I learned this is recipe from my first Martha Stewart cookbook back in the 80s. Have served 100s of them over the years and they are a crowd pleaser. Absolutely delicious,

[@myshubby]

I keep watching your videos even though I already know how to make this and most dishes. I actually teach my friends to cook. It's your voice and your subtle jokes that I come here for. If you ever run out of food wishes, you can always take up stand up comedy. I'll binge watch those videos too lol

[@canleovir]

I have a British cook book with a similar recipe. Only difference is after spreading the mixture on the bread, you then press the shrimp mixture sides in a plate of sesame seeds before frying. If you like sesame flavor, it's an awesome addition.

[@tcr7308]

your voice is therapy. I put this on when I have anxiety. I love chef John.

[@FefeDee31]

I used to order these from a favorite restaurant in California in the 80s. Moved to Texas and haven’t had them since. But I haven’t stopped thinking about them! Thank you!!

[@sammyt3514]

I don't think I've ever salivated as much watching a cooking video as I did watching this!

[@kordovaia]

sounds like a great filling for wontons

[@user-ve5ym5ok6g]

YES

[@asaenvolk]

it is

[@truth4004]

or dumplings.

[@ClamsAnonymous]

6:20 - I really love how he dumps the green onion off of the toast before taking a bite. Garnishes are for business meeting chumps and bachelorette parties.

[@ahhin2068]

warm tips: 6:10 put on green onion and then 6:20 take them off immediately before you eat :D

[@MKD-dd6ng]

😃😃

[@dnae760]

Ha!

[@ahabrawgaming1289]

that was a sneaky one but you caught it lol

[@owned2easy]

trim before you spread. got it :^)

Yep! Beat me to it! I know I always trim before I spread. ;-)

[@Cookie542]

That crunch was so satisfying.

[@peopleintrees]

My mom makes shrimp toast on a french baguette. YUMMERS!

[@mitchellguerrerio9909]

Hey Chef! I made these last night and they were excellent! I used some left over Tikka masala sauce from your chicken recipe and made a tikka mayo to dip it in and it was a hit! Thank you your videos are great!

[@asmrwithnat4747]

I bought a box of shrimp toast from Costco one year for Christmas and they were gone in about ten minutes. Every year my family asks for them and I've never been able to find them again. I'm going to make them this year thanks to this recipe! Thanks Chef.

[@jaimewarden4304]

Thanks for this recipe! I've always wondered what, exactly, Shrimp Toast was- lol. This looks delicious!

[@thatwildestkid]

Tried these last night. I didn't have bread, so I used some mini naans instead. Sure, they weren't crispy, but it did add quite a different dimensions to the dish. It didn't take too long for my and my folks to absolutely love this.

[@platinumare]

I love your narration, you make me feel hopeful in the kitchen.

[@MorselOfBread]

Would a circular patch taste different than the squares or triangles?

[@foodwishes]

+oxxadamxxo The flavors would be rounder.

[@twocvbloke]

+Food Wishes How about an oblate spheroid?

[@Anonymoose]

+twocvbloke It would have a somewhat Earthy taste.

[@lori8973]

Probably tastes like chicken

[@klte1]

+oxxadamxxo To give an answer without hilarious geometry puns, flavour would obviously not have an impact, but you actually would probably get a different texture, because the pointy ends get more crispy (smaller surface area/width --> fries off more quickly).

[@jcthompson7666]

So glad you did this recipe because today the take-out Chinese restaurants all seem to put the shrimp paste between two slices of bread before frying. Your way is how they made it several years ago and it was a better version.

[@evotube]

I literally gulping my own saliva while watching this! Looks very super ultra duper really delicious!! I will really absolutely try this recipe! Thanks!

[@deborahlong4417]

Yum. I remember these being served with a sweet rice vinegar and finely diced cucumber at one if my favorite restaurants that is no more because the chef passed away. Gonna try these tonight. Thanks!

[@ItsJustLisa]

We have a local Chinese chain here that used to have shrimp toast. I’ve missed it since they stopped serving it. Now I can make my own! Yummy!

[@romeredubost6971]

I made it tonight...success! thanks so much...wifey loved it!

[@ar71498]

I will say, doing this exact recipe but on thin baguette slices is a fantastic variation on this recipe

[@marliesl.6229]

Thanks for this great recipe. About 20 years ago in VA I used to go to this little Chinese restaurant that used to serve them. Always had to have them. Have not seen it anywhere else since than on a menu. Will have to give it a try. They used to serve it with Duck sauce. So good.

[@rhettlover1]

Once again, our dear chef acknowledges he would do a few things differently in the future. Young cooks, never give up, always try again.

[@Panwere36]

Love your videos and the recipes, but your voice makes them that much better, as you can tell that you love to cook as well as do the videos. Thanks for doing them.

[@kimquinn7728]

Absolutely! It's not a Hollywood canned voice. It's natural, warm and quirky. Love it.

[@Aurasmae]

Don't you just love the days food wishes and cooking with dog coincide?

[@cbasallie]

yep!

[@apachedisco]

+BIGgourami google.

BIGgourami will

[@Paintplayer1]

RIP Francis :'(

[@Timenow1]

3 yrs after the comment, I agree and *RIP Francis*

[@nixayp]

Our* (*UK) Chinese take-away version has a full layer of sesame seeds on top of the shrimp; it really adds to the flavour (more than just a sprinkle would, obviously). MY favourite thing everrrrrrr. I'll definitely have a go now I've seen this!

[@garlicgirl3149]

OMG!!!!!! I am so making these for my mom. These are her favorite!

[@erickalitten5473]

I made these last night and they are FABULOUS!!!!!!!!! Tastes like the Blue Hawaii Resturant!

[@jawitten4]

Who are the folks giving a thumbs down? Bless your hearts. Sorry your life is so tragic that Chef John can’t make you smile.

[@wuBu27]

Your wife is one lucky woman chef John! Your recipes and videos are awesome and quite funny. Tried 3 different recipes and all of them were crowd favorites! Keep doing what you're doing and thanks again for the work you put in!

[@RobinOrzo]

These look great! I've made these a few times but made my paste with a cream cheese base, can't remember where I found the recipes years ago. This is an interesting and more authentic I think alternative. Love shrimp toast, will have to try!

[@djc6323]

Ate this all the time in Jersey. Can’t find it in GA so I need to hit the market and make it myself. Thanks Chef for the recipe

[@kaysmith3284]

My husband is going to LOVE these! ♡

[@edstella]

Thanks for the great, simple recipe. I do love these types of recipes from you-- you know, the ones that look and sound fancy, but are so wonderfully easy.

[@upperwallop7887]

I really enjoy your videos because they are fun, your voice has a musical quality to it, you always choose delicious recipes and I feel that I can trust your advice. Thank you.

[@khaoulachatt7703]

mmmmm just imagined this with cheese sauce or sour cream 😍and now i’m hungry af ! thnx chef john 👍

[@truth4004]

No, duck sauce or ginger dumpling sauce is better.

[@marcypeter7913]

Fantastic chef and always humorous! Great shrimp toast as well as all the food chef John has ever shown to us!

[@jacksp1787]

Chef/Maestro: I would take the trimmings from the bread ahead of time, toast it and crumble it into the blender instead of the egg white, and I'd leave out the anchovy, since I don't eat eggs or fish [just seafood]. Your videos are inspirational. And as you say, we are the Neos of this Matrix, the captains of our ships. Love ya, John!

[@spidaminida]

I love how you sound quite surprised by each sentence :)

[@jumeic]

i know this is far from shrimp toast but this reminds me of something from home. same fried goodness but shrimp paste wrapped in wonton or spring roll wrappers. absolutely delicious.

[@PurringMyrrh]

That bite sound gave me the chills it was so lovely. 😍

[@lionharehart]

I'm wondering if every mother went through culinary school or did every great culinary teacher have a mother? My mom never finished elementary school but she is a Ninja in the kitchen. She has made these and they're awesome! Thanks Nani! she's going to be 80 soon.

[@whateverlol93]

You talk like one of my teachers in the past, you have like a slight inclination of tone at the end of every sentence LMAO. Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dliu5132]

They do sell fresh water chestnuts! You can probably find them at an Asian store where we eat them by boiling it whole (they have a black skin) and then peeling them. They have a naturally sweet taste so they're great on their own!

[@shawnski001]

There goes my diet.... .... it's toast

[@heheitsjohnE]

+shawnski001 I would go on a diet, but it wouldn't do much since I'm always loafing around

[@shawnski001]

GameOverCasanova D'oh! (sp)

[@angelbear_og]

+shawnski001 ba-dum tss!

[@AnalogX64]

+shawnski001 How does darth vader like his toast? A little on the dark side.

[@nomnom20131]

Bread toasted in oil.

[@amarit2519]

Right in my childhood memories. Haven't had one of these in a long time and you surprised me, Chef John.

[@amarit2519]

Oh and it has this side dish that the toasts always served with. Cucumber and red onion slices in vinegar mixture (not sure what it's called in English) to counteract the oiliness of the toasts, I suppose, but as a child I always finish the toasts without touching the side dish.

[@rhettlover1]

+Biggolf BG , Agurksalat! My Swedish/Norwegian grandma always had some in the fridge, she called it cucumber and red onion slices in vinegar mixture:-), you reminded me how much I loved that stuff, thank you! I thought Chef's shrimp toasts were Asian, but they would fit right in on the 'board! Gonna make some tomorrow, the cuke mixture that is, and that's no pickle. uffdah!

[@turtlepowersf]

+Biggolf BG this is vietnamese in origin in right?

[@rhettlover1]

+turtlepowersf, I think it is John-a-mese, variations of this exist wherever shrimp exist.

[@turtlepowersf]

+Christine King ah, yes John-a-mese. I'd like to go on a food vaca to Johnlandia.

[@djroberts01]

Brilliant, as always! Thanks for the video. Can't wait to make.

[@lauragriffin6512]

I have made these for years. Got the recipe from Martha Stewart back in the 80s. It is DELICIOUS!!

[@joshkolchins7753]

Made this tonight for me and my kids. So delicious!

[@Moola444]

These were one of my favorites to get from the Chinese restaurant. I also squeeze some lemon over mine. So yummy

[@pinchofnutmeg9900]

These look amazing and, as always, your directions are easy to follow and hilarious!

[@panda-peanut]

I really have to try these. They look awesome.

[@Chef_John_PSX]

Man your comment section is amazing everyone's so nice

[@Mrbird321]

@DH No balls?

[@Mrbird321]

@DH LMAO

[@indigoandbrown]

I enjoyed shrimp toast at Chinese restaurants in London but when I returned to small town USA could not get them here. Can't wait to make these!

[@Crispymoonspiders]

I only had cooked shrimp,I went ahead with it and it turned out delish,but today I am doing raw. Cant wait I bet it will be even more delish. Love your vids,I have had so many new ideas and meals. 🥰

[@christinabernat9681]

Talk about my mouth watering - my mouth is flooding!😍👍 These would be sensational also with some type of keto cauliflour and cheese "bread" dough. YUM a trillion times!

[@bhmistress003]

Fresh water chestnut is a definitely a thing! You can find it at your chinese store :) They usually come in a bunch, packaged in a net. They're usually dark brown. Will be in your vegetable section!

[@mikeycliffordismine7496]

I've never ate Shrimp Toast this looks soo delicious especially cause I love seafood I GOT TO TRY THIS!!!!

[@TheDietChef]

This has got Super Bowl appetizer written all over it! :D

[@fdc2023]

Chef... you are a legend and always humorous. 😃

[@canleovir]

Love shrimp toast. I was wondering where the sesame seeds were. I have a similar recipe In a British cookbook. However it calls for pressing the shrimp side of the bread in a plate of seeds for full coverage before cooking. I guess it depends on how much you like sesame seeds.

[@lunareign3249]

Best chef ever! Thank you for this recipe 👏😀

[@joelovell9654]

Thank you Chef John! I've been eating these and wondering how to make them! Now I can!

[@DavidFSloneEsq]

"An Odd and Very Dangerous Texture" is my favorite John le Carré novel.

PLEASE POST EVERY MINUTE I NEED TO WATCH!!!!!!!!

[@FioraTheMasquerade]

I lived in Thailand for a year as a kid, had shrimp toast many a time. It NEEDS nam pla prik. NEEDS it.

[@grizzle273463]

OMG! This is the most brilliant idea irrespective of whether you invented it or not. Thanks so much for introducing me to this wonderful new idea. Thumbs up

[@norwoodwildlife9849]

Not usually a big fan of shrimp toast, but those look awesome.

[@gilbertogranados3018]

This is by far (and I mean overseas far into the Ji-had far, quoting chef Jhon there) THE BEST food channel out there man, I just made those and oh man, was he right ...yum ! (I added an extra dipping sauce though)

[@bliimpy]

well here's dinner tomorrow, sounds and looks so amazing

[@jillpiebest]

Yum! I like the shrimp toast at the buffet but it's always so greasy. They do sound deliciously crunchy though!

[@RedTailBooking]

Holy crap. I never heard of shrimp toast. Can’t wait to make it.

[@dearhyo]

this has been a food wish of mine for forever, thanks chef john~~

[@kathleenhardwick7650]

Wow! Look soooo good Gotta try them real soon.

[@0891mik]

I am Vietnamese and I remember weekend afternoons when my mother made these... Oh childhood. I guess I have to be the one to make these for my son and husband on the weekends.

[@aaaaaaaaaaaa808]

Chef all your kitchen equipment are super clean, I wonder what kind of dishwasher are you using. Thanks, and as always great video.

[@dunsa123456]

Never had shrimp toast before, definitely giving this a try soon!

[@kprairiesun]

I have searched forever for shrimp toast! Now, I can make my own!

[@jaemurl]

I was like, that bread is overcooked....until I heard the CRUNCH when he took a bite, delish!!

[@ManuManatee]

Im going to make tons of these next weekend!

[@geetanjalirai7676]

You are my most wonderful chef.

[@yogician]

I just made this tonight it was absolutely delicious. Thank you chef John

[@brijeshchauhan]

Trim before you spread!! I love your puns!

[@nostalgicfragments]

That was an epic sound. More shrimp or seafood paste-like recipes, please!

[@MdnSavior]

You always make me hungry Chef John, I love your videos ^^

[@Trund27]

I appreciate that Chef John takes off his wedding ring before he starts cooking. His fingernails are super clean, too. Excellent.

[@locomocobananasuper]

I saw fresh water chestnuts at the Japanese market the other day! So they do exist. I don't even like shrimp, but I think I would really like to try this!

[@cozyvamp]

Fresh water chestnuts are a thing. ;) I've only found them in Asian markets in the spring. They are amazing! Sort of like a cross between jicama and fresh coconut. Really delicious and worth buying if you see them. Thanks for the recipe!

[@truth4004]

The first time I had shrimp toast was a NY take out Chinese place. Omg sooo good. similar to this but much more paste being thicker in the middle on the triangle. They are greasy but the're even good cold in my opinion dipped in duck sauce. lol I've made them several times and its very close. But I added a bit of corn starch to it. No water chestnuts I think they only had shrimp and green onion, ginger and garlic. And in the restaurants they left the crust on.

[@rgisdel]

Mmm my mouth watered with the sound of you chewing, I want these. How do I make without a food processor???

[@keruist]

Made these today they were soooo good.. Thx chef :)
