Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp Mixture

  • Medium-sized fresh shrimp, peeled – about 8 oz (225 g)
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper

For the Toast

  • 6 slices white bread, crusts trimmed
  • 1–2 teaspoons oil or melted butter (for brushing)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (toasted or raw)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the shrimp mixture: Finely chop the peeled shrimp until almost paste-like but leaving small bits for texture. In a bowl, combine chopped shrimp, green onions, egg white, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and white pepper. Mix thoroughly until a uniform, seasoned paste is formed.
  2. Prep the bread: Trim crusts off the white bread slices if desired, then cut each slice into triangles or rectangles. Lightly brush each piece with a thin layer of oil or melted butter to promote golden crisping in the oven.
  3. Top the bread: Spread a generous and even layer of the shrimp mixture over each bread piece, smoothing it with the back of a spoon. Press down firmly so the topping adheres well to the bread.
  4. Sprinkle with sesame seeds: Evenly scatter the sesame seeds over the shrimp topping to add crunch and a nutty flavor after baking.
  5. Bake until golden: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the shrimp-topped bread pieces on a lined baking sheet or wire rack. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp is cooked through and the bread edges turn crisp and golden brown. Watch closely to avoid burning.

Notes

  • Use fresh shrimp rather than frozen for best texture and flavor.
  • Do not apply too thick a layer of shrimp topping to avoid soggy bread.
  • Using a wire rack over the baking sheet helps heat circulate evenly for crispier toast.
  • Keep an eye during baking, especially near the end, as shrimp toast can burn quickly.
  • Serve the toast immediately after baking for maximum crunch and flavor.
