Shrimp Toast / Bánh Mì Quét Tôm

Is it really a Vietnamese party without shrimp toast? Growing up, nearly every party that my family or relatives hosted included egg rolls, fried rice, chow mein, and, of course, shrimp toast.

These are the perfect little appetizers that hardly take any prep and are a real crowd pleaser. AND, I’ll be the first to say that I’m usually not a big fan of seafood and cheese, but this unholy union of shrimp and mozzarella on a slice of Vietnamese baguette is to die for.

I like doing a rough chop on my shrimp because I want actually to feel like there’s shrimp in my toast. However, I’ve also seen folks do a finer mince, and both are still delicious.
