Here is another appetizer I love to have when eating Chinese. When I was younger my mom would try to get me to taste it but I’d always go “ewww Shrimp toast?” I loved shrimp and I loved toast but together? Really? Finally, one day I tossed one in my mouth and fell in love.

8 very thin white sandwich bread slices
1 pound unpeeled, medium-size shrimp (since it’s getting blended you can definitely use frozen!)
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 (1/4 inch) piece of fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
2 egg whites
1/2 cup fine, dry plain breadcrumbs
vegetable oil
Garnish- lemon slices
