Place the raw shrimp, egg white, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch into a food processor.
Blend the mixture until smooth and paste-like.
Lay the bread slices flat on a cutting board and trim off the crusts. Cut each slice into quarters, forming squares.
Spread a generous layer of the shrimp paste over one side of each bread square.
Sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over the shrimp paste side, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or wok over medium heat to approximately 350°F (175°C).
Carefully lower the shrimp toast pieces into the hot oil, shrimp side down. Fry in batches if necessary to avoid crowding.
Fry for 1-2 minutes on the shrimp side, then flip and fry the bread side for another minute until golden brown.
Remove the shrimp toast from the oil and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Serve the shrimp toast warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or soy-based dip.
