Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 6 slices white bread
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil for brushing
  • Optional: 1/4 tsp chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Shrimp Mixture: Finely chop the peeled shrimp until it reaches a paste-like consistency. In a bowl, combine the chopped shrimp with minced garlic, chopped green onions, soy sauce, egg white, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until smooth and sticky.
  2. Prepare the Bread: Cut the white bread slices into triangles or rectangles as preferred. Lightly brush both sides of each piece with vegetable oil to promote golden browning and a crunchy texture when baked.
  3. Assemble the Toast: Spoon or evenly spread the shrimp mixture onto each piece of oiled bread, covering the surface completely. Press the mixture gently to help it adhere. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the topping for added crunch and visual appeal.
  4. Bake the Shrimp Toast: Arrange the toasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a non-stick mat. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, until the shrimp topping is cooked through and the bread is crispy and golden around the edges.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the baked shrimp toast from the oven and transfer to a serving plate. Serve warm with optional dipping sauces such as sweet chili, soy-ginger, or spicy mayo for an extra flavor boost.

Notes

  • Use a food processor briefly to finely chop the shrimp for the best texture without making it mushy.
  • Brush the bread with vegetable oil to ensure it crisps up well and doesn’t dry out.
  • Fresh shrimp is recommended for superior flavor and texture compared to frozen.
  • Keep an eye on baking time to avoid drying out the shrimp topping.
  • Serve with complementary dipping sauces like soy-ginger or chili garlic for enhanced taste.
