Baked Shrimp Toasts - makes about 12-15
This dish is traditionally deep fried but since bread absorbs a lot of oil, I've always wanted to try to bake it. I think it came out very well, minus the oiliness! The shrimp paste topping is very similar to chạo tôm.

* ¼ small onion, minced
* ½ tsp garlic powder
* ¼ tsp salt
* ½ tsp sugar
* ½ tbsp cornstarch
* ground black pepper
* white bread slices
* oil for brushing
* black sesame seeds

Pat down the shrimps with a paper towel to make sure they’re dry.
Place into a food processor with the remaining ingredients (except bread and oil).
Blend in food processor until it becomes a paste.
You can make a little patty and fry it, to taste and adjust the seasoning if you’d like.
Using a rolling pin, roll down the bread slices if they are too thick.
Slice into whatever shapes you prefer (triangles or I used a cookie cutter for circles).
Brush one side of the bread with oil.
Spoon some of the shrimp paste on the other side.
Brush the shrimp paste with oil so it becomes golden.
Sprinkle some sesame seeds.
Bake at 350F for 10-12 minutes (until the shrimp is cooked through). You can broil it if you want it more golden.
Tada!
