Crispy shrimp toast made with a flavorful shrimp paste spread on bread and fried until golden brown.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine or dry sherry
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 slices white bread, crusts removed
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
  • Green onions, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Finely mince the shrimp. You can do this by hand or pulse in a food processor until a coarse paste forms.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the minced shrimp, egg white, cornstarch, rice wine, sesame oil, white pepper, and salt. Mix well until everything is incorporated.
  3. Spread a generous layer of the shrimp mixture evenly over one side of each bread slice.
  4. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds over the shrimp mixture.
  5. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  6. Carefully place the shrimp toast, shrimp-side down, into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp mixture is golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Flip the toast and fry for another 1-2 minutes, or until the bread side is golden and crispy.
  8. Remove the shrimp toast from the oil and place on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  9. Cut each slice into triangles or desired shapes.
  10. Garnish with chopped green onions, if using, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the pan when frying; cook in batches if necessary.
  • For a healthier option, you can bake the shrimp toast instead of frying. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or soy sauce.
