Make restaurant-style shrimp toast at home. This recipe yields golden, crispy bread topped with a flavorful, succulent shrimp mixture, perfect as an appetizer or party bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 slices white bread, crusts removed
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 egg white
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. Mince the shrimp finely in a food processor or by hand until it forms a paste. Do not over-process into a liquid.
  2. In a bowl, combine the minced shrimp, cornstarch, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, egg white, and white pepper. Mix well until the mixture is sticky and uniform.
  3. Spread a thin, even layer of the shrimp mixture onto one side of each slice of bread.
  4. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Carefully place the bread slices, shrimp-side down, into the hot oil. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes per side until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the shrimp is cooked through.
  6. Remove the shrimp toast from the oil and place it on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  7. Cut each slice into quarters diagonally before serving.

Notes

  • For maximum crispiness, ensure your oil temperature remains steady during frying.
  • Serve immediately while hot for the best texture.
  • Consider serving with a sweet chili dipping sauce for added flavor.
