Here is another appetizer I love to have when eating Chinese. When I was younger my mom would try to get me to taste it but I’d always go “ewww Shrimp toast?” I loved shrimp and I loved toast but together? Really? Finally, one day I tossed one in my mouth and fell in love.
This recipe was heavy on the onions for my likings, I’d change it up and use maybe a 1 cup tops next time. It’s so easy to make though, and is definitely a nice appetizer to impress folks since it’s not your typical appetizer you make at home. Also, this recipe makes twice as much shrimp mixture then needed for the 8 slices of bread. Either use 16 or cut the recipe in half.
Shrimp Toast
- 8 very thin white sandwich bread slices
- 1 pound unpeeled, medium-size shrimp (since it’s getting blended you can definitely use frozen!)
- 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
- 1 (1/4 inch) piece of fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
- 2 egg whites
- 1/2 cup fine, dry plain breadcrumbs
- vegetable oil
- Garnish- lemon slices

Do you really use unpeeled shrimp? should they be shelled before blending?

The directions to peel and devein were right after cutting the bread. I’ve put a space between to make it stand out more. Thanks!

Sometimes a good hors d’heuvre makes a better dinner than…dinner! And this is something that sounds fantastic. I will admit I’ve never ordered it out, but now I won’t need to! Thanks for sharing the recipe along with your insights.
Anyway, I found you through TasteSpotting and am writing to say that if you have any photos that aren’t accepted there, I’d love to publish them. Visit my site (below), it’s a lot of fun! I hope you will consider it.
Best,

These look lovely. do you use pre-cooked or raw shrimps? Thanks for a lovely looking recipe.

I used pre-cooked but I agree, the recipe is written as if you could use raw. You are processing it and I would think using raw would be ok since it does cook for a few minutes.

Saw this recipe and will try it. Do you spread the paste on both sides of the bread or just one? The picture makes it difficult for me to tell. Either way it has to be good!
