- 9-10 large shrimp peeled and de-veined
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- pinch of white pepper
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 1 egg white
- 1 green onion sliced
- 4 stalks cilantro
- 3 slices white bread
- 1-2 tablespoon light olive oil
Prep the cilantro and green onions. Chop cilantro (can be replaced with green onion or jalapeno) finely and chop green onions.
Peel and devein the shrimp. Start to dice and chop the shrimp with a knife until the shrimp becomes a paste. Alternatively, you can put the shrimp in a food processor if you don't want to dice the shrimp. I like to chop it by hand because I like the different textures of the shrimp.
Next, mix the shrimp with salt, sugar, white pepper, corn starch, egg white, cilantro and green onion. You want to mix in one direction for one minute until the mixture is well combined.
Cut the white bread in squares (4 squares for each slice of bread). You may cut off the crusts if you like but I don't like to waste the bread.
Place 1 tbs of shrimp filling on top of the white bread and add some sesame seeds to garnish.
Before baking, add some oil and sesame seeds to the top of the shrimp toast. You can air fry or bake the shrimp toast at 375F for 8-9 minutes. Top with some kewpie mayo and hope you enjoy these delicious shrimp toasts!
