Shrimp Toast

Shrimp Toast is one of my favorite restaurant copycats. It’s a retro Chinese restaurant classic that was one of my favorite things to eat growing up. Slices of white bread are spread with a savory shrimp mixture and fried until wonderfully crispy.

Pour about 1/2-inch of oil in a nonstick skillet and heat until hot.

Spread shrimp mixture on one side of each toast triangle. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Frying 4 pieces at a time, place them shrimp side down in the hot oil for 1 to 2 minutes or until golden. Carefully flip them over and continue to fry until golden on the other side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Eat plain or serve with chili garlic sauce. Best eaten right away but leftovers can be reheated in a toaster oven or air fryer.
