Ingredients
Scale
1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
8 slices white bread, crusts removed
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon finely minced garlic
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 large egg white
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing bread)
1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the shrimp mixture: Place the shrimp, mayonnaise, minced garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce, white pepper, egg white, and cornstarch into a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is smooth but still has some texture; do not over-process into a paste.
Trim the crusts from the slices of bread. Cut each slice of bread in half diagonally to create triangles.
Spread an even, thin layer of the shrimp mixture onto one side of each bread triangle.
Place the bread triangles, shrimp-side up, on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the exposed bread edges lightly with olive oil.
Sprinkle the tops with sesame seeds, if using.
Bake for 10 to 14 minutes, or until the shrimp topping is cooked through and the bread edges are golden brown and crispy.
Serve your crispy shrimp toast immediately as a quick lunch or party appetizer.
Notes
For an even crispier base, lightly toast the bread slices in the oven for 3 minutes before adding the shrimp topping.
If you prefer a Vietnamese Shrimp Toast flavor profile, add 1/2 teaspoon of fish sauce to the shrimp mixture.
Serve this baked seafood snack with sweet chili sauce for dipping.
