Ingredients:
- 1 pound cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1/4 inch piece fresh ginger root, minced

Directions:
- In a blender or food processor, blend shrimp, onion, ginger, egg whites, salt and pepper until smooth.
- Cut each white bread slice into 4 triangles. Spread both sides of triangles with shrimp mixture and coat with bread crumbs. Cover and chill in the refrigerator approximately 1 hour.
