Girl, let me tell you about this absolutely divine seafood snack that’s become my go-to when those late-night cravings hit! I’m talking about my Crispy Garlic Shrimp Toast with Sweet Chili Aioli. It’s fancy enough to impress, but easy enough that you won’t destroy your kitchen at midnight (because who needs that drama, right?).
Let me spill the tea on what you’ll need:
– 8 slices of white bread, crusts removed (we’re being fancy here!)
– 1/2 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 3 cloves of garlic (or more, I won’t judge)
– 2 green onions, finely chopped
– 1 egg white
– 1 tablespoon soy sauce
– Sesame seeds for sprinkling
– Oil for frying
For that killer Sweet Chili Aioli:
– 1/2 cup mayonnaise
– 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
– 1 lime, juiced
– Pinch of salt
Now, honey, let’s get cooking!
1. First, throw your shrimp, garlic, green onions, egg white, and soy sauce into a food processor. Pulse until it’s paste-like but still has some texture (we’re not making baby food here!).
1. Spread this heavenly mixture onto your bread slices. Don’t be shy – we want a generous layer! Sprinkle those sesame seeds on top like you’re making it rain.

1. Heat your oil in a pan over medium heat. Once it’s hot (but not smoking – we’re not trying to set off any fire alarms at midnight), place your toasts shrimp-side down first. Cook for about 2 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook the bread side for another minute.
1. While those babies are cooking, mix up your aioli ingredients. This sauce is seriously everything!
1. Once done, drain on paper towels and cut diagonally to make triangles (because we’re fancy like that).
Serve these bad boys hot with that amazing aioli, and watch them disappear faster than your ex’s texts! The outside is crispy, the inside is succulent, and that sauce? _chef’s kiss_ Perfect for those midnight munchies or when you want to pretend you’re sophisticated at 2 AM.
