This is especially well received when served on thinly sliced and toasted homemade bread. The Whole Wheat Dill, Walnut Onion or Sesame are our favorites. Just cut the thin slices into triangles, brush them with garlic butter, and toast them in a 375 degree oven until they are barely crisp.
1/2 pound cocktail shrimp
1 tablespoon sour cream
1 tablespoon cream cheese
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped chives
2 tablespoons minced parsley
1 1/2 tablespoons finely minced, fresh ginger root
Dash white pepper and cayenne
Small amount of red ginger in brine for garnish *
Rinse the shrimp under cool water and drain on paper towels. Divide the shrimp into two equal portions. Mince one half of the shrimp and combine it with the sour cream, cream cheese, lemon juice, chives, parsley, minced ginger, pepper, and cayenne. Fold in the reserved whole shrimp. Mix well. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Just before serving, spread the shrimp mixture on the toast triangles and garnish with strips of the red ginger. Arrange on a serving platter and garnish with fresh fruit.
Serves 4-6.
* This may be found in an oriental market.
