Chef Kevin Belton shares two takes on Shrimp Toast: One with Louisiana flavor and one with an Asian twist.

NEW ORLEANS — Toast has definitely grown and changed over time. 

It used to just a piece of bread that was browned, now it can be considered an appetizer or even a meal. 

To celebrate National Toast Day, I’m making Louisiana Shrimp toast featuring flavors we know and love. The other toast is Asian Shrimp toast, a favorite when getting take out. I’m demystifying the deliciousness so we can all make it at home. 

Louisiana Shrimp Toast

• 8 oz. medium shrimp, peeled, deveined
• 1 Tbsp. olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1/3 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 Tbsp. freshly grated Parmesan
• 1 tsp. Creole seasoning 
• 1/2 tsp. onion powder
• 1/4 tsp. dried thyme
• 1/4 tsp. dried oregano
• 1 French baguette, ends trimmed and cut into 1/3-inch slices
• 2 Tbsp. fresh parsley leaves, chopped

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.

Place shrimp in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Add olive oil and garlic; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Gently toss to combine. Place into oven and roast just until pink, firm and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Let cool before dicing into bite-size pieces.

In a large bowl, combine shrimp, mayonnaise, sour cream, mozzarella, Parmesan, Creole seasoning, onion powder, thyme and oregano; season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Place baguette slices in a single layer onto the baking sheet. Top with shrimp mixture. Place into oven and bake for 6-8 minutes, or until cheeses have melted.

Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.

Asian Shrimp Toast 

• 1 oz. ground pork, optional 
• ½ lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined
• ¼ cup cilantro, chopped
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• 1 tsp. ginger, grated
• 1/2 tsp. sesame oil
• ½ tsp. sugar
• ½ tsp. salt
• 2 tsp. cornstarch
• 1 egg white
• 4 slices white sandwich bread
• 2 Tbsp. toasted sesame seeds
• Vegetable oil for frying

If you’re using pork, add the pork to a food processor and process until smooth. Then add the shrimp, cilantro, scallions, ginger, sesame oil, sugar, salt, cornstarch and egg white. Process until smooth.

Divide the mixture among 4 slices of sandwich bread, spreading it evenly out to the ends. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, and lightly press the sesame seeds into the shrimp mixture. Cut each slice into quarters on a diagonal to create little triangles.

In a large nonstick or cast iron skillet, heat 1/4 inch of oil until shimmering. Fry the triangles in the skillet, shrimp-side down first, until golden––about 2-3 minutes.

Use a spatula to carefully turn them over, and fry the other side for about 1 minute. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Serve immediately!
