  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: 12 pieces 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp Mixture

  • 8 ounces fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Bread and Topping

  • 6 slices white bread, crusts removed
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Shrimp Mixture: Finely chop fresh shrimp until the texture is almost pasty but with some bits remaining to retain texture. In a bowl, combine chopped shrimp with minced garlic, chopped green onions, egg white, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is sticky and spreadable.
  2. Prepare the Bread: Remove the crusts from white bread slices and cut each slice diagonally into small triangles or squares. Lightly toast the bread pieces in the oven or skillet until just golden but still soft enough to hold the topping.
  3. Assemble the Toasts: Evenly spread the shrimp mixture over each piece of bread in a thin layer, covering the surface without overloading. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top for extra crunch and visual appeal.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Place the assembled toasts on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes until the shrimp topping is light golden brown and the bread is crispy. Monitor closely towards the end to prevent burning.
  5. Serve Warm: Let the shrimp toasts cool slightly on a wire rack for a few minutes to maintain crispiness. Serve immediately with your preferred dipping sauces or garnishes.

Notes

  • Use-day fresh shrimp for best flavor and texture; if using frozen, thaw thoroughly before chopping.
  • Apply a thin, even layer of topping to ensure even baking and prevent sogginess.
  • Removing bread crusts improves presentation and browning.
  • Lightly toasting bread before adding the topping enhances crunchiness and prevents soggy bottoms.
  • Check baking progress early as oven temperatures vary to achieve perfect golden color.
