For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dash of Shaoxing wine to the shrimp mixture. If you don't have water chestnuts, finely diced celery can be used as a substitute. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your spice preference. Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to prevent the toasts from becoming soggy. These can be prepared ahead of time and fried just before serving.
