Girl, let me tell you about this absolutely divine seafood snack that’s been my go-to whenever those late-night cravings hit! I’m talking about my Crispy Garlic Shrimp Toast with Spicy Mayo Drizzle. It’s honestly criminal how good this is, and I promise you’ll be sneaking to the kitchen at midnight just like I do! 😋
This recipe came to life during one of those can’t-sleep nights when I was craving something fancy but didn’t want to spend forever in the kitchen. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you for this one!
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 8 slices of white bread
– 12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 3 cloves of garlic (or more, I won’t judge!)
– 2 green onions, finely chopped
– 1 egg white
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Oil for frying
– Sesame seeds for garnish
For that killer spicy mayo:
– 3 tablespoons mayo
– 1 tablespoon sriracha
– A squeeze of lime juice
– A pinch of sugar
Honey, here’s how we make magic happen:
1. First, pat those shrimp dry like they’re heading to a fancy party! Chop them up finely.
1. In a food processor (or with your awesome chopping skills), combine the shrimp, garlic, half the green onions, egg white, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Blend until it’s paste-like but still has some texture – we’re not making baby food here!
1. Cut those bread crusts off (save them for breadcrumbs later, we’re eco-friendly queens!), and spread that shrimp mixture generously on each slice.
1. Sprinkle some sesame seeds on top because we’re fancy like that!

1. Heat oil in a pan (about 1/2 inch deep) over medium heat. Once hot, place the toast shrimp-side down first (yes, trust me on this!). Fry for about 2 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook the bread side for another minute.
1. While that’s happening, mix up your spicy mayo ingredients. This sauce is so good, you might want to make extra!
1. Cut each toast diagonally, drizzle with that heavenly spicy mayo, and sprinkle with remaining green onions.
Y’all, this snack is seriously addictive! The crispy texture, the succulent shrimp, and that kick from the spicy mayo – it’s a whole vibe! Perfect for those midnight munchies or when you want to impress your friends with your culinary skills.
