Shrimp & Crab Toasts (Banh Mi Nuong Tom Cua)

There’s never a bad time to make these addicting shrimp and crab toasts. Featuring a savory shrimp and imitation crab mixture on top of crispy, golden sliced baguette, these tasty little toasts are perfect for any occasion. Plus, you can make the shrimp and crab mixture ahead of time. The imitation crab adds a subtle sweetness, which I like, but you can use real crab if you’d like!
