Main Ingredients
- 8 oz fresh or thawed shrimp, finely chopped
- 6 slices white sandwich bread
- 2 green onions, finely sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 egg white
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Prepare the shrimp mixture: Finely chop the shrimp in a food processor or by hand. In a bowl, combine the shrimp with minced garlic, sliced green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, and egg white. Season with salt and pepper, and mix well until you get a sticky, spreadable paste.
- Prepare the bread: Remove the crusts from the bread slices and cut each into triangles or rectangles. Lightly toast the bread in the oven or on a skillet to firm it up in preparation for the topping.
- Spread shrimp topping and bake: Generously spread the shrimp mixture over each piece of toasted bread. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 8 to 12 minutes, until the shrimp is cooked through and the edges of the bread are crisp and golden.
- Finish and serve: Remove the baked shrimp toasts from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Optionally garnish with extra green onions or a drizzle of chili sauce before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh or fully thawed shrimp for the best texture and flavor.
- Always toast the bread before topping to prevent sogginess.
- Spread the shrimp mixture evenly for consistent cooking and crunch.
- Keep an eye on the baking time to avoid burning the toast.
- Serve warm to maintain crispiness and aroma.
