Here’s a shrimp toast recipe based on a Vietnamese deep fried shrimp bread dish. This shrimp recipe works as a snack or main dish, and it doesn’t require many shrimp, so it can be an economical shrimp recipe choice. I prefer English muffins for shrimp toast because it’s the perfect size, and they toast up super well in the oven. I use a mix of chopped and whole shrimp for maximum shrimpiness and visual effect, but experiment and find what you like.
Shrimp Toast Recipe Ingredients
12-15 SHRIMP peeled and deveined
3 ENGLISH MUFFINS
2 EGG WHITES
1 clove minced GARLIC
1 tsp dried ITALIAN SEASONING
1 tsp PAPRIKA
SALT and PEPPER to taste
some OLIVE OIL
How to Make Shrimp Toast
- Peel and devein shrimp.
- In a bowl, lightly toss shrimp with olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and paprika and set bowl aside.
- Lightly coat English muffin halves with olive oil and slightly toast face down in a skillet.
- Then place muffin halves face-up on a baking pan.
- In a small bowl, whisk 1 or 2 egg whites with dried Italian seasoning and minced garlic.
- Place a spoonful of this egg white mix on each muffin half.
Place shrimp over the egg white and cover the muffin half. Use whole shrimp, or chop them, or use a combo. I like using some chopped and whole shrimp, that way I can entirely cover the
muffin with shrimp, but also have a whole shrimp on top so it looks extra cool and tasty. - Top the shrimp with another spoonful of the egg white mix. This will bake and form a seal to hold the muffin and shrimp together.
- Bake in an oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes, or until toasted golden.
That’s it.
