Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp Mixture
- 8 oz fresh or thawed shrimp, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 large egg
Bread
- 6 slices white sandwich bread (or brioche or gluten-free bread for variation)
Topping
- 2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs (or gluten-free breadcrumbs)
Instructions
- Prepare the Shrimp Mixture: Finely chop the shrimp and mix with minced garlic, chopped green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, and the egg until well combined. This mixture binds together and infuses flavor throughout.
- Cut and Toast the Bread: Trim crusts off the bread slices and cut each into triangles or rectangles. Lightly toast them until just golden to prevent sogginess after assembly.
- Assemble the Toasts: Spread a generous but even layer of the shrimp mixture on each piece of toasted bread. Avoid piling too thickly to ensure even cooking.
- Add Crunch Topping: Sprinkle panko or breadcrumbs evenly over the shrimp layer to add an irresistible crispy finish once baked.
- Bake: Place the assembled toasts on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes until shrimp is cooked through and bread is golden and crisp.
Notes
- Use fresh or properly thawed shrimp for best texture and flavor.
- Do not overload the bread with shrimp mixture to ensure even cooking and crispness.
- Lightly toast bread before applying the shrimp mixture to avoid sogginess.
- Prepare shrimp mixture in advance and refrigerate for quick assembly.
- Check oven temperature for accurate baking to prevent drying out.
