Method
-
1
Dry the shrimp and mince them until they form a sticky paste. Stir in the finely chopped scallion, grated ginger, cornstarch and salt.
-
2
Spread the paste over the four bread slices, right to the edges. Scatter the sesame seeds on top and press them in gently.
-
3
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry in batches, shrimp-side down, 3–4 minutes until the sesame turns golden. Flip and crisp the bread side for 1–2 minutes, making sure the shrimp topping is opaque and firm.

4
Set the toasts on a rack, cut each one in half on the diagonal and serve warm.
