Ingredients

2 scallions chopped

1 tablespoon water chestnuts chopped

1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ginger chopped

1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch

1 clove garlic crushed

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon sugar

dash cayenne

1 egg white

1 1/2 teaspoons dry vermouth or sherry

1/2 pound medium raw shrimp shelled and deveined

12 slices firm-textured white bread

4 tablespoons unsalted butter softened

2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley chopped


Directions

Combine ingredients through cayenne in food processor. Add egg white and vermouth and process until slightly foamy, 3 to 5 seconds. Add shrimp and pulse on and off until mixture has formed a paste yet shrimp still retain some texture. Remove crusts from bread and lightly butter both sides. Spread shrimp mixture over one side and cut diagonally into four triangles. Can be made ahead and refrigerated up to 8 hours. Bake in 375 degree oven until topping is just pink and bread slightly toasted, about 10 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve. Serving size 2 triangles.

I would make this again - people took seconds on this at our cocktail party. Relatively easy, although it takes some time to butter and spread on the filling. (Could probably skip buttering the bottom of the bread.) Original recipe called for 8 slices of bread, but I like a thin layer of spread and had a lot left over, so I edited the recipe to increase bread slices.
