Meanwhile, combine shrimp with remaining ingredients except dill and shape mixture into twenty balls.
Lightly press shrimp balls onto toasted bread circles.
About 7 to 9 inches from sources of heat (or at a 450 degree oven) broil canapes 10 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
To do ahead, press shrimp balls on toasted bread circles, cover and refrigerate. About 20 minutes before serving, broil as above.
