- To make the Prawn Toasts: Make the prawn paste by putting all the ingredients except the bread and fresh celery salt into the blender. Pulse and blend till smooth. You can refrigerate at this point if you like.
- Slice the bread into triangles or rectangles and spread each slice with some prawn paste. Continue till your paste is used up.
- Pour oil into a wok until one-third full. Heat until a small piece of bread dropped into oil sizzles. Cook toasts, in batches, prawn side down, for 1 minute. Turn and cook for a further 15 to 30 seconds or until golden. Remove to a wire rack over a baking tray. You could also keep them warm in the oven while cooking the remaining prawn toasts.
