Baked Shrimp Toast
This classic shrimp toast recipe is baked instead of deep-fried. It comes out just as crispy with less oil.
Ingredients
- 1 pound shrimp
- 1 large egg white
- 2 stalks scallion (thinly sliced)
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons oyster sauce
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 1 pinch ground white pepper
- ½ cup raw sesame seeds
- 4 slices bread (I'm using thick-cut milk bread)
- ½-3/4 cup oil
For serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350℉.
- To a food processor, add the shrimp, egg white, scallions, soy sauce, oyster sauce, toasted sesame oil, minced ginger, and white pepper. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the sesame seeds onto a plate.
- Spread ¼ of the shrimp paste onto each slice of bread. Press the shrimp side of the bread into the sesame seeds.
- For each slice of bread, add 2 tablespoons of oil to a shallow dish. Press the bread side into the oil and move it around to get it evenly coated. Transfer to a nonstick baking sheet with the bread facing down.
- Bake for 8 minutes, then flip and bake for another 4 minutes until the bread is golden brown.
