Place the raw shrimp, egg white, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and half of the sliced green onions into a food processor.
Pulse the mixture until it forms a smooth paste.
Trim the crusts off the white sandwich bread and cut each slice into halves diagonally to form triangles.
Spread a thick layer of the shrimp paste onto one side of each bread triangle, covering the surface evenly.
Sprinkle sesame seeds generously over the shrimp paste side and gently press them down to adhere.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350Β°F (175Β°C).
Carefully place the bread triangles shrimp-side down into the hot oil. Fry for 1-2 minutes until golden brown on the shrimp side.
Flip the bread triangles to fry the bread side for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until crispy and golden.
Remove the shrimp toasts from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Garnish with the remaining sliced green onions and serve immediately while hot.
