Baked Shrimp Toast is a quick, easy, and flavorful appetizer that combines juicy shrimp with crunchy toasted bread.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Fresh Shrimp: 1/2 pound, peeled and deveined
  • White Bread Slices: 8 thin slices
  • Green Onions: 2 stalks, finely chopped
  • Garlic: 2 cloves, minced
  • Soy Sauce: 1 tablespoon
  • Egg White: 1 large
  • Sesame Oil: 1 teaspoon
  • Black Pepper: 1/4 teaspoon, freshly ground
  • Optional Chili Flakes: 1/4 teaspoon or to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Shrimp Mixture: Finely chop the fresh shrimp until almost paste-like but with some texture remaining. Combine the shrimp with minced garlic, chopped green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, and the egg white. Season with freshly ground black pepper and optional chili flakes if desired. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
  2. Prepare the Bread: Trim the crusts off the white bread slices for neat edges and cut each slice diagonally into triangles. Lightly toast the bread triangles in a preheated oven or toaster to strengthen them before adding the topping.
  3. Assemble the Toasts: Evenly spread a generous layer of the shrimp mixture over each bread triangle, pressing gently to ensure the topping adheres well without piling too thickly to guarantee even cooking.
  4. Bake Until Golden and Crisp: Place the shrimp toasts on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the shrimp topping turns opaque and golden, and the bread edges become crisp and lightly browned.
  5. Serve Immediately: Remove the baked shrimp toasts from the oven and serve hot to enjoy the perfect balance of crispy bread and juicy shrimp topping. Garnish with fresh herbs or toasted sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to allow even heat circulation.
  • Removing crusts helps the shrimp mixture stick better and improves presentation.
  • Press the shrimp mixture firmly onto the bread to prevent it from falling off during baking.
  • Keep an eye on the toasts near the end of baking to avoid burning or drying out the shrimp.
