Perfect for busy weeknights or entertaining guests, it offers a crispy texture and rich flavor without complicated prep or long cooking times.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined – about 8 oz (225g)
  • Bread slices (white or brioche), about 6 slices, ½ inch thick
  • Green onions, 2 stalks, thinly sliced
  • Garlic, 2 cloves, minced
  • Fresh ginger, 1 teaspoon, grated
  • Soy sauce, 1 tablespoon
  • Egg white, 1 large
  • Sesame oil, 1 teaspoon
  • Sesame seeds (optional), 1 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the shrimp mixture: Finely chop the fresh shrimp until they resemble a coarse paste. In a bowl, combine the chopped shrimp with minced garlic, grated ginger, sliced green onions, soy sauce, a touch of sesame oil, and the egg white. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is sticky but spreadable, ensuring it will cling well to the bread.
  2. Prepare the bread: Cut the bread into evenly sized rectangles or triangles, about half an inch thick. Optionally, lightly toast the bread slices to add extra crunch and prevent sogginess, helping the bread hold the topping firmly during baking.
  3. Spread the shrimp mixture: Evenly spread the shrimp mixture over each piece of bread, pressing gently to ensure the topping sticks firmly. Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds on top to add extra texture and nutty flavor.
  4. Bake to golden perfection: Place the topped bread slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the shrimp topping is set and the bread edges turn a golden brown, achieving a perfect combination of crispiness and flavorful freshness.
  5. Serve warm: Remove the shrimp toast from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This short rest helps the topping firm up, making each bite easier to enjoy without falling apart.

Notes

  • Use fresh shrimp for best texture and flavor, but fully thawed frozen shrimp can be used as well.
  • Chop shrimp finely to create a cohesive and smooth topping mixture.
  • Spread the shrimp mixture thinly and evenly to ensure even cooking and maximum crispness of the toast.
  • Pre-toasting the bread is optional but recommended to avoid sogginess and add crunch.
  • Watch baking time carefully as shrimp cooks quickly to avoid drying out or burning.
  • Serve shrimp toast fresh out of the oven for optimal crispiness and taste.
