prawn toast
Fried seafood starter
Prawn toast is a Chinese appetizer of minced shrimp spread on bread triangles, coated in sesame seeds, and deep-fried until crisp and golden.
A staple of Cantonese restaurant menus in the West, it's typically served with sweet chili sauce: We ordered spring rolls and prawn toast to start.
