1 baguette, thin sliced, toasted
1 lb medium cooked shrimp, peeled and tails removed
½ cup water chestnut, chopped fine
3 scallions, green and white parts chopped fine
½ teaspoon grated ginger
1 large egg, separated
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon vodka
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped fine
½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons melted butter (to brush on the toast)

1
Bread -- just brush with melted butter and bake at 375 until golden brown, flip to make sure both sides are golden.
2
Just a few minutes per side is all it takes.
3
Shrimp -- add the shrimp to the food processor but make sure they are not wet.
4
Slightly puree, for just a few seconds and then add the egg white, cream, salt and pepper.
5
Transfer to a bowl and add the water chestnuts, ginger, scallions, salt, pepper and parsley.
6
Time to make the toast -- On the very nicely toasted baguettes, spread a teaspoon or 2 of the shrimp mix on top.
7
Top with the egg yolk mixed with the water, just to give it a nice topping (or a light glaze) as it bakes.
8
Bake at 350F for 10-12 minutes on a lined cookie sheet either with foil or parchment.
9
Just make sure the shrimp topping is heated through.
