Cooking steps

1

Pat shrimp dry and chop finely, then process in a food processor along with egg white, soy sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, and salt until a sticky paste forms.
2

Fold in chopped green onion and water chestnuts to the shrimp paste for extra crunch and aroma.
3

Cut crusts from bread slices and cut each into two triangles; evenly spread a thick layer of shrimp mixture onto one side of each triangle.
4

Press the shrimp-coated side of each toast into a plate of sesame seeds to create a dense, even coating.
5

Heat vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat (350°F); fry toasts shrimp-side down for 2–3 minutes, then flip and fry bread side for 1 minute until golden and crispy.
6

Remove to a wire rack to drain briefly; serve immediately for peak flavor and crunch.

Personalized Q&A

Q. What's the key ingredient in this recipe?

Shrimp (prawns) are the central ingredient, providing the signature savory flavor and high protein content that make these toasts stand out. The shrimp paste, blended with egg white and seasonings, defines both taste and texture.

Q. How do I ensure the prawn toast stays crispy after frying?

To keep the prawn toast crispy, use medium-high heat (350°F) and drain them on a wire rack after frying. Avoid stacking or covering right away so excess steam doesn't soften the bread.

Q. What is the calorie and protein content per serving?

Each serving (90g) contains approximately 260 kcal, with 15g of protein. Protein makes up about 23% of total calories, making these toasts a high-protein appetizer.

Q. Which step makes the biggest difference in flavor?

Spreading a thick, even shrimp paste layer and generously coating in sesame seeds delivers both flavor depth and the signature crunchy bite that distinguishes great prawn toast.

Q. How do I prevent the toast from absorbing too much oil during frying?

Maintain the oil at 350°F and avoid crowding the pan. Fry shrimp-side down first, just until golden, then quickly flip for a crisp finish—this limits oil uptake and delivers a light texture.
