Combine chocolate and shortening in medium-size heavy-bottomed saucepan. Heat over low heat until chocolate melts, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in nuts. Stir in ginger, if desired.
Line baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. Drop chocolate mixture by heaping tablespoons onto paper, allowing 1 inch between clusters. Chill at least 1 hour to firm up.
To serve, pull from paper. Store leftovers, covered, in refrigerator or cool, dry place.
