Equipment
- 1 Air Fryer
- 1 Food processor (or a sharp knife)
- 1 Pastry Brush
Ingredients
- 2 slices soft sandwich bread
- 10 large shrimp raw, peeled, and deveined (about 4 oz or 115g)
- 1 tsp Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
- ¼ tsp salt or to taste
- ⅛ tsp black pepper freshly ground
- ½ tsp cornstarch
- ⅓ cup mozzarella cheese (about 1.5 oz or 45g) shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
- 1 large egg beaten
Instructions
- Make the Shrimp Paste: In a food processor, add the raw shrimp and Shaoxing wine. Pulse 3-4 times until a coarse paste forms. Transfer to a bowl and mix in the salt, black pepper, and cornstarch.
- Assemble Sandwich: Spread the shrimp paste evenly onto one slice of bread, reaching the edges. Top with the shredded mozzarella cheese. Place the second slice of bread on top and press gently.
- Egg Wash: Brush the beaten egg over the entire outer surface of the sandwich, top and bottom.
- Air Fry: Place the sandwich in the air fryer basket. Cook at 300°F (150°C) for 10 minutes. Flip the sandwich and cook for another 8 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Rest for 1 minute, then slice in half and serve immediately.
