Equipment

Ingredients

½ lb shrimp peeled, deveined and finely chopped
½ lb imitation crab finely minced
2 stalks green onion finely chopped
2 stalks celery finely diced
½ small yellow onion finely diced
2 cloves garlic minced
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup shredded mozarella and cheddar cheese blend
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2-3 Vietnamese baguettes (banh mi) sliced

Instructions

Preheat your oven. Preheat your oven to 350°F (176°C).
Prepare the shrimp and crab. In a food processor, chop the shrimp until finely ground. Stop before it fully becomes a paste. Remove and set aside. Then pulverize the imitation crab until finely minced. Set aside.
Mix together. In a large mixing bowl, add the chopped shrimp, minced imitation crab, finely chopped green onion, diced yellow onion, minced garlic, diced celery, mayonnaise, shredded cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Assemble. Add the shrimp mixture on top of each slice of banh mi and spread the mixture evenly to the edges.
Bake. Place a single layer of toast on a baking tray, about 1 inch apart, and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the shrimp are cooked through and the tops are lightly golden brown. Cool the baked shrimp toast on a wire rack for 5 minutes before garnishing with cilantro. Enjoy!
