Shrimp Toast with Spicy Sriracha Mayo

Ingredients

• 1 lb peeled, deveined shrimp (Finely diced or processed into a paste)
• 8 slices white bread (Milk bread may be used; cut the corners off)
• 0.5 cup green onions (Thinly sliced)
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 egg white
• 0.5 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil (For the shrimp mixture)
• 0.25 tsp baking soda
• 0.25 tsp ginger paste (Ginger powder may be substituted)
• 0.5 tsp white pepper
• 0.5 tsp salt
• neutral oil (For frying or air frying; amount depends on cooking method)
• 0.5 cup Kewpie mayonnaise (For the spicy sriracha mayo)
• 0.5 tsp sesame oil (For the spicy sriracha mayo)
• 2 tbsp sriracha (For the spicy sriracha mayo)

Steps

1. 1

   Finely dice the peeled, deveined shrimp until it forms a coarse paste. A food processor may be used, but stop before the shrimp becomes completely smooth.

2. 2

   Place the shrimp paste and thinly sliced green onions in a large mixing bowl.

3. 3

   Add the egg white, cornstarch, soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, baking soda, ginger paste, white pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is cohesive and evenly seasoned.

4. 4

   Cut the corners from the bread slices. Milk bread can be used, though any white bread is suitable.

5. 5

   Spread the shrimp mixture evenly over the designated bread slices, keeping the shrimp contained within the edges so it does not ooze out. Use the eight slices to form four toasts according to the intended sandwich or folded arrangement.

6. 6

   For frying, heat a neutral oil in a skillet over high heat. Fry the shrimp toasts for about 2 minutes per side, or until the bread is crisp and golden and the shrimp topping is fully opaque and cooked through.

7. 7

   Alternatively, air-fry the assembled toasts until crisp and the shrimp is cooked through, following the air fryer’s settings and turning as needed for even browning.

8. 8

   Make the sauce by stirring together the Kewpie mayonnaise, 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil, and sriracha until smooth and evenly colored.

9. 9

   Serve the hot shrimp toast immediately with the spicy sriracha mayo for dipping or drizzling.

Notes

The post states that the recipe makes 4 toasts and serves 4, but the description does not fully explain how the 8 bread slices are assembled. The transcript says to fry at high heat for about 2 minutes per side and identifies milk bread as an optional bread choice. Ensure the shrimp reaches 145°F / 63°C or is opaque and firm throughout.
