Prepare the Shrimp Mixture:

Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg white until frothy.

Prepare the Toasts:
- Spread the shrimp mixture evenly onto each slice of bread.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds over the shrimp mixture, pressing them gently into the paste with your fingertips.

Cut and Heat Oil:
- Cut each bread slice into 4 squares, triangles, or fingers, depending on your preference.

Fry the Toasts:
- Once the oil is hot, carefully place the shrimp side of each toast down into the oil.
