Prepare the shrimp mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, mayonnaise, and crĂšme fraĂźche. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing, which can make the shrimp mushy.

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.

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.
