Shrimp Straws
1 lb. fresh shelled shrimps
1 lb. white bread
whites of 3 eggs
½ onion
½ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon pepper
small piece fresh ginger
Place shelled shrimps, onion and ginger in a chopper and chop very fine; remove from chopper into a large bowl, add the whites of three eggs, salt and pepper, then beat the ingredients until stiff. Now spread the mixture upon thinly sliced bread. Cut into strips about an inch wide and four inches long. Sprinkle browned bread crumbs upon the shrimp strips. Place in boiling deep vegetable oil or lard; as soon as the bread turns golden brown, remove straws from fat and place upon a piece of paper to drain off the oil.
Shrimp straws should always be served hot and fresh.
