Delicious crispy shrimp paste toasts made in the air fryer, topped with sesame seeds and served with a creamy lime-cilantro sauce. A unique dim sum to recreate at home!

The most divine Cantonese appetizer you can enjoy

Hugely popular in dim sum restaurants, these shrimp toasts will be just as loved at home. Thanks to the air fryer, they’re incredibly easy to make—crispy on the outside, yet light and delicious. I love serving them with a tangy lime-cilantro dipping sauce.

Why make this recipe?

Crispy without deep-frying: the air fryer guarantees crunch without the extra oil.
Asian-inspired flavors: garlic, ginger, cilantro, and soy sauce bring classic Cantonese aromas.
A modern twist: a fun homemade version of a beloved Asian street food.
Fresh & zesty sauce: lime and cilantro add brightness that perfectly balances the flavors.
