Shrimp toast, also known as prawn toast, is a popular appetizer that originated in Cantonese cuisine. It is a dim sum staple that has influences from Western culture.

Typically, shrimp toast consists of a fresh shrimp paste infused with fragrant garlic, scallions, and sesame seeds.

The sesame seeds give the snack a nutty flavor and a satisfying crunch. The paste is then slathered on white bread, which is fried to a crisp golden brown. Shrimp toast can now be found on menus in other Asian countries and even across the globe.
