Baked Shrimp Toast
(Makes 24 toasts)
Instead of the fried approach, our version is baked and also features
cilantro.
12 ounces precooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 egg white, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
1 scallion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 thin slices white bread
3 tablespoons melted butter
Fresh cilantro leaves and toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
Preheat oven to 400 F. In a food processor fitted with a metal
blade, pulse the shrimp until finely chopped. Add egg white, cilantro,
scallion, cornstarch, ginger, and salt. Pulse several more times until the
ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Remove crusts from bread. Lightly brush both sides of each slice with
melted butter. Cut each slice into 4 triangles. Spread shrimp mixture over
each of the triangles, distributing evenly.
Bake 10-12 minutes, or until light golden brown. Sprinkle with toasted
sesame seeds and garnish with cilantro leaves, if desired.
Make-ahead tip: Make shrimp toast topping up to a day in advance and
refrigerate until ready to use.
