Shrimp Toast – Best Tips
Don’t skimp on the shrimp paste: A generous layer means more flavor in every bite!
Press the paste firmly: This ensures it sticks to the bread during frying.
Use hot oil: Hot oil is key to achieving that golden crust and preventing soggy toast.
Drain well: Let the toast drain on paper towels to get rid of excess oil.
