Place rock shrimp, egg, onion, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, 1 tablespoon olive oil and corn starch in a food processor and pulse for 30 seconds until the mixture becomes a paste. Transfer shrimp paste to a bowl and mix in chives till combined.
Take a slice of baguette and top with a generous tablespoon of shrimp paste. Repeat till all the shrimp paste is used up. Sprinkle each piece with black sesame seeds.
In a small pot, add 2 cups of oil on medium heat. Working in batches of 3 or 4, gently slide each piece, shrimp side down into the hot oil and fry for 1 ½ minutes, till golden brown. If toast starts to burn too quickly, turn heat down until you are able to leave each piece in the oil for the required cooking time.
