👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Prepare the shrimp mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, mayonnaise, and crème fraîche. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing, which can make the shrimp mushy.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 2
Add flavorings: Stir in the finely chopped fresh dill and the juice of half a lemon. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Mix gently. Cover and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 3
Toast the bread: While the shrimp mixture chills, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat (around 180°C / 350°F). Once the butter is shimmering and lightly browned, add the toast rounds. Toast for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 4
Assemble the Toast Skagen: Place the warm, toasted bread rounds on serving plates. Generously spoon the chilled shrimp mixture onto each toast. Garnish with a dollop of löjrom (if using) and a sprig of fresh dill.
