Ingredients

1/2 cup onion, finely chopped (1 medium)
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (8 ounce) can tomatoes, cut up
1 (4 ounce) can green chile peppers, rinsed, seeded and chopped
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 dash pepper
3 large eggs, separated
2 tablespoons unbleached flour
1 (4 1/2 ounce) can shrimp, drained and chopped

Cooking Instructions

* In a saucepan, cook onion and garlic in the 2 tablespoons vegetable oil until the onion is tender. Stir in the UNDRAINED tomatoes, chile peppers, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Bring to boil, then reduce the heat. Cover and simmer 20 minutes; set aside, keeping it warm.

* Meanwhile, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and set aside.
