Photo: Shrimp Toast Recipe
Ingredients
- 8 ounces peeled and deveined raw shrimp (about 9 ounces unpeeled)
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg white
- 2 tablespoons minced green onions, green parts only
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
- 3 ounces cream cheese, cut into pieces
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 8 slices brioche or home-style white bread
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil or clarified butter, for frying
- Duck sauce or pepper jelly, for garnishing, optional
Directions
Combine the shrimp, egg, egg white, green onions, parsley, garlic, salt, and white pepper in a food processor and process until blended but still slightly chunky. Add the cream cheese and pulse until smooth and thick. Add the cream and pulse just until blended, being careful not to over process.
Spread 1/4 cup of the shrimp mixture onto each slice of bread, spreading to the edges and smoothing the top.
Heat the vegetable oil to 360 degrees F in large deep skillet. Add the shrimp toast in batches, coated sides down, and fry until golden on the first side, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Turn and cook until golden on the second side, about 1 1/2 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
To serve, cut each toast diagonally into quarters. Serve hot, with a drizzle of duck sauce or a dab of pepper jelly, as desired.

OMG my first attempt at any Asian recipe, I could not resist trying it. So very good. Good taste. Love the crispy bread. Only thing I would change is to add a piece of shrimp because I ground the other down too much. And the duck sauce is a must.

Yum! I made this for 2 parties this weekend and at both of them every last bite was gone and everyone was raving about them! I did make a couple slight changes - omitted the cream and instead of putting it on white bread and frying, I sliced up a baguette, brushed with butter, and baked them instead. Delish.

My wife and I wanted to have Shrimp Toast but didn't want to go out so we looked for recipes and found this one. It took us 2 days, but we finally got all the ingredients together and set out to make these 5 star Toast! WOW! We only had one hickup, how much oil in the pan at a time, but we settled on 2 teaspoons at a time and we are glad we did. We cooked the shrimp, chopped up the items, and she mixed all the ingredients into the most delicious topping ever! We didn't have a blender, so we just chopped things small. Cookings times in the recipe are very close. Thanks for a wonderful recipe, we had a wonderful experience this evening!
