Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4–6 slices baguette or white bread, about 1 tablespoon thick
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 green onions, finely sliced
  • 1 egg white
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

Optional Variations

  • Finely chopped fresh chili or 1 teaspoon Sriracha (for spicy upgrade)
  • Gluten-free bread or rice crackers (for gluten-free option)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro, basil, or mint (herb infusion)
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan or mozzarella cheese (cheese twist)
  • Finely chopped mushrooms or mashed tofu as a shrimp substitute (vegetarian alternative)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Shrimp Mixture: Finely chop or pulse fresh shrimp in a food processor until it forms a chunky paste. Mix in minced garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, green onions, egg white, and chili flakes if using. Stir until all ingredients are well combined to form a flavorful topping.
  2. Toast the Bread: Cut bread into small squares or triangles about one tablespoon thick. Lightly toast the slices in the oven or toaster until crisp but not browned, creating a sturdy base for the shrimp topping.
  3. Assemble the Toasts: Spread a generous, even layer of the shrimp mixture over each toasted bread piece, ensuring every bite has the delicious shrimp flavor.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the prepared toasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the shrimp topping is cooked through and lightly golden on top.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the Baked Shrimp Toast fresh and warm for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh or well-thawed shrimp for optimal texture and flavor.
  • Spread the shrimp mixture thinly to ensure even cooking and maintain crisp edges.
  • Keep a close watch on baking time to prevent drying out the shrimp topping.
  • Bake on a wire rack, if possible, to allow heat circulation and extra crispiness.
  • Chop shrimp evenly for consistent texture in the topping.
