Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp Mixture

  • Fresh peeled and deveined shrimp, finely chopped or pulsed into a paste (about 8 oz)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 egg white
  • Optional: chili flakes, to taste

Bread

  • 8 slices sturdy white or brioche bread, cut into small triangles or rectangles (about 1/2 inch thick)

Garnish

  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prep the shrimp mixture: Finely chop the shrimp or pulse briefly in a food processor to form a smooth paste. Mix in the minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, soy sauce, pinch of salt, egg white, and optional chili flakes until well combined to blend all the flavors.
  2. Prepare the bread: Slice the bread into small triangles or rectangles about half an inch thick. Lightly toast them in the oven or on a skillet until firm but not fully browned, which helps prevent sogginess later.
  3. Assemble shrimp toast: Spread a generous layer of the shrimp mixture evenly over each piece of bread, pressing gently to ensure it sticks well. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top to add nutty texture and a beautiful golden crust.
  4. Bake: Arrange the prepared shrimp toasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes or until the shrimp topping turns golden and is cooked through.
  5. Serve warm: Remove from the oven and serve immediately to enjoy the full crunch and savory flavors of the baked shrimp toast.

Notes

  • Use fresh shrimp for best texture and flavor.
  • Don’t overload the bread with shrimp mixture to ensure even cooking.
  • Lightly toast the bread before assembling to prevent sogginess.
  • Monitor baking time carefully to avoid drying out the shrimp topping.
  • Serve immediately for optimal crispness and flavor.
