1

Assemble all the ingredients.
2

Prepare the shrimp paste: In a mixing bowl, combine the shrimp, onion, water chestnuts, celery, and green onion. Stir in the crabmeat, egg, parsley, sesame oil, garlic, soy sauce, salt, and pepper.
3

Prepare the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, parsley, water, sesame oil, sugar, and garlic powder.
4

Prepare the toast: In a large, heavy skillet over medium heat, heat 1/2 inch oil.
5

Spread a thick layer of shrimp paste on each slice of bread, pressing gently so it adheres to the bread.
6

Working in batches, fry the bread paste-side down in the hot oil until golden and the shrimp is pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook until the bread is golden brown, about 1 minute. Drain on paper towels.
7

Cut the shrimp toasts diagonally and serve with the dipping sauce.
