Vietnamese Shrimp Toast (Bánh Mì Chiên Tôm)
Description
This recipe starts by finely mincing raw shrimp and sautéing it with shallots and garlic until cooked and fragrant. After cooling, the mixture is combined with mayonnaise and a blend of shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, along with salt and pepper, to create a creamy, textured filling.
To prepare the toasts, baguette slices are lightly brushed with melted butter or oil to achieve a crisp, golden base. The shrimp filling is spread evenly over the bread and gently pressed down to adhere. The toasts are baked in a preheated oven until the topping is bubbly and golden and the bread edges are crisp.
The toast can be garnished with chopped green onions for added freshness and served warm. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to two days and reheat nicely in the oven or air fryer to restore crispness. Preparing the filling mixture a day ahead saves time.
Ingredients
- 1 large loaf Vietnamese baguette (or 2-3 small), sliced into ½ inch rounds
- 1 pound Shrimp raw, peeled, deveined, finely minced

- 1 tablespoon butter for brushing, melted or oil
- green onion chopped, for garnishing, optional
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- Prep the Shrimp: Use a sharp knife or food processor to finely mince the shrimp. You want it small but still slightly textured.

- Prep the Bread: Lightly brush the bottoms of each baguette slice with melted butter or oil for a golden, crispy base.
- Assemble Toasts: Spoon 1–2 tablespoons of shrimp filling onto each bread slice and spread evenly. Gently press the filling down so it sticks.
- Bake: Arrange the slices on your prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each. Bake for 12–14 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.
- Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle with chopped green onions for extra color and flavor. Serve warm and enjoy!

- Brush bread slices with melted butter or oil before topping to ensure a crisp, golden base.
- Let the shrimp mixture cool before adding mayonnaise and cheese to maintain a creamy texture.
- Use fresh or fully thawed, patted-dry shrimp to prevent soggy filling.
- Chop shrimp finely but retain some texture to keep noticeable shrimp flavor.
- Spread the filling evenly and press gently to help it adhere to the bread.
- Do not overcrowd the baking sheet; bake until golden and bubbly.
- You can prepare the shrimp mixture up to one day in advance; assemble just before baking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container refrigerated up to two days; reheat in oven or air fryer at 350°F for 5–6 minutes to regain crispness.
