The Crispiest Shrimp Toast You'll Ever Make at Home 脆皮虾吐司 How to Make Shrimp Toast • Chinese Recipe

Serious Eats / J. Kenji López-Alt

Of all the Tiki dishes shrimp toast was probably my favorite growing up and not because I liked shrimp. In normal Tiki style the main ingredient in this dish isn’t really the point. The shrimp flavored with scallions garlic sesame and soy are more of a vehicle to ensure all the flavors stick nicely to the “toast.” And I put that in quotes because it’s not often that the word “toast” refers to “fried bread.”

And that’s what shrimp toast is all about: crispy golden brown slices of fried bread with a vaguely shrimpy but very allium-heavy coating. Every bite of toast is the perfect combination of salty and sweet. We’ve swapped the more traditional spring onions you’ll find in other recipes for wild garlic and suggest using potato bread as the base for the toast.
