Preheat the oven to 400°F and turn on convection mode if available.

Rinse the shrimp and de-poop them using a toothpick or skewer.

Peel off the shell of the shrimp.

Chop the cleaned shrimp into small pieces, avoiding a paste-like consistency.

Finely chop green onions and slice jalapeno for garnish (optional).

Cut the Vietnamese baguette into 1-inch slices.

In a mixing bowl, combine chopped shrimp, green onions, minced garlic, mayonnaise, melted butter, shredded mozzarella, fish sauce, sugar, and ground white pepper. Mix well.

Spread a heaping spoonful of the shrimp mixture onto each slice of baguette, smoothing the top.

Place the topped baguette slices on a wire rack and bake in the oven for 10-11 minutes.

Optionally, broil on low for an additional minute for extra golden color.

Remove from the oven and garnish with sliced jalapenos.
