For best results, use fresh, high-quality shrimp. Don't overcrowd the pan when frying; this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy toast. Adjust the amount of soy sauce and garlic powder in the dipping sauce to your preference. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

01
Step
0 mins
Gather all ingredients. (5 minutes)
02
Step
15 mins
Make the shrimp paste: In a mixing bowl, combine the minced shrimp, yellow onion, water chestnuts, celery, and green onion. Stir in the crabmeat, beaten egg, parsley, sesame oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, salt, and pepper until well combined. (15 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
Make the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, parsley, water, sesame oil, sugar, and garlic powder until the sugar is dissolved. Adjust seasonings to taste. (5 minutes)
04
Step
5 mins
Prepare for frying: Heat 1/2 inch of oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. (5 minutes)
05
Step
10 mins
Assemble the toasts: Spread each slice of bread with a thick, even layer of the shrimp paste. Gently press the paste onto the bread to ensure it adheres. (10 minutes)
06
Step
15 mins
Fry the toasts: Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet, carefully place the bread slices, paste-side down, into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and the shrimp is cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook until the bread is golden brown on the other side, about 1 minute. (10 minutes)
07
Step
0 mins
Drain and serve: Remove the shrimp toasts from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Slice each toast diagonally and serve immediately with the prepared dipping sauce. (5 minutes)
