✓ USDA-verified nutrition data

Ingredients

• 4 slices Rye bread
• 12 oz Shrimp
• 1/3 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 Lemon
• 1/4 cup Dill
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 4 leaves Romaine

Steps

1. Butter the rye and lay on the lettuce — it keeps the bread crisp under the shrimp.
2. Pile the shrimp high; a proper räksmörgås is generous to the point of structural concern.
3. Dollop with mayonnaise thinned with lemon juice, then shower with dill.
4. Serve with lemon wedges; the dill-lemon-shrimp trinity is non-negotiable.
5. Hand-peeled shrimp are the luxury upgrade — worth it for guests, optional for Tuesday.
