Shrimp toast or prawn toast (Chinese: 蝦多士; Cantonese Yale: haa dō si) is a Cantonese dim sum dish from Hong Kong. It is made from small triangles of bread, coated with a paste made from minced shrimp and cooked by baking or deep frying. It is a common appetizer in Western Chinese cuisine. A common variant in the United Kingdom, Australia and Ireland is sesame prawn toast. This involves sprinkling sesame seeds onto the bread before the baking or deep-frying process.
