In reply to Deanna Wingart. Thank you for sharing this, Deanna. I’m so glad it worked well with gluten-free bread. Happy to hear it’ll be a regular!

My husband loves shrimp toast. I’ve never had due to having celiac. I was making Chinese food for dinner and thought that would be nice to have since he only gets it in a restaurant. I made your recipe and put in on homemade GF brioche and french bread. I didn’t have sesame seeds so I dipped the top in GF rice flour and pan fried. OMG! This is delicious and so easy to make. He even said it was better than the restaurants, even on gf bread. I will be making this a lot!!!

In reply to Deb. Thanks Deb! This recipe calls for untoasted slices of bread. I’ll update the wording to avoid any confusion.

Do you start w/ a piece of toast or a slice of fresh bread (untoasted)? Your pictures show bread, but the directions say toast. Excited to try this out on my husband tonight!

In reply to Stephanie Barker. Yes, Stephanie, the original fried version definitely creates a better taste. Glad you like my recipe.

In reply to J-Mah. Thanks for trying out my recipe! As long as the prawns are fully cooked, they're safe to eat. If you prefer a crispier texture, try spreading a thinner layer of the prawn paste over the bread. This might help reduce moisture where the prawn meets the bread.

I used the air fry setting on my oven and left it in for a few minutes longer, but it was still a little wet where the prawn touches the bread despite the prawns being fully cooked. Not sure where I went wrong or if that’s okay. It was still delicious though.

This is as close as I’ve found to the shrimp toast at a restaurant my mom and I ate at long ago. It is a delicately flavored dish and as simple to prepare as anything that requires frying. I like to use a denser bread with a uniform crumb.
