Ingredients

• 4 slices Sourdough
• 12 oz Shrimp
• 1/3 cup Mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup Sour cream
• 1/4 cup Dill
• 2 tbsp Whitefish roe
• 1 Lemon
• 2 tbsp Butter

Steps

1. Fold the shrimp with mayonnaise, sour cream, dill, and lemon — the skagenröra should be creamy, not soupy.
2. Toast the sourdough in butter until deeply golden on both sides.
3. Pile the shrimp mixture high on the toast and crown with a spoonful of roe.
4. Finish with dill fronds and lemon; this is Sweden's fanciest toast, and it earns the title.
5. Chill the shrimp mixture 20 minutes before assembling — cold skagenröra on hot toast is the contrast that matters.
