Easy Baked Shrimp Toast

 Let’s put a fresh spin on your article:  

Have you ever heard of "bánh mì quết shrimp"? This unique Vietnamese-inspired dish takes shrimp and mayonnaise to a whole new level, transforming simple baguette slices into golden, crispy bites of heaven. Think of it as the Vietnamese take on shrimp toast, but with an extra touch of indulgence and flavor.  

In my take on this classic, the recipe keeps it simple yet irresistible. You’ll need just a few key ingredients: shrimp, garlic, scallions, black pepper, mayonnaise, butter, and, of course, bread. The baguette slices are generously coated with the shrimp mixture, then fried or baked to perfection until they’re crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.  

For a finishing touch, I love adding fresh basil. Its delicate sweetness and aromatic flair pair beautifully with the savory shrimp topping, creating a dish that’s as vibrant as it is delicious. Whether you’re hosting a get-together or just craving something special, this Vietnamese shrimp toast is sure to impress.
