- The crispy baguette contrasts perfectly with the creamy spicy shrimp topping
- Ready in thirty minutes but tastes like something from a restaurant
- The Sriracha and fish sauce combo creates an addictive flavor you cannot find elsewhere
02 -
- Buttering the bread before adding the shrimp mixture prevents sogginess
- Chopping the shrimp too small will make the texture paste like so keep some small chunks
- Letting the toasts cool for just 2 minutes makes them easier to handle while still warm
03 -
- Pat the shrimp extremely dry before chopping to prevent watery toppings
- Let the finished toasts rest 2 minutes so the shrimp mixture sets slightly
- Serve immediately while the bread is still crispy and the shrimp warm
