3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill, plus dill sprigs, for garnish
1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
1 pound precooked peeled small shrimp (preferably Swedish) or rock shrimp, patted dry and cut into 1/2-inch pieces if large
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
4 slices white Pullman bread, crusts removed, bread cut into 4 triangles
4 ounces golden whitefish caviar ( paramountcaviar.com), for garnish

Steps:

Stir together mayonnaise, creme fraiche, chopped dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until well combined. Stir in shrimp.
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat, and saute half the bread triangles until golden brown and crisp. Transfer to a plate, and saute remaining bread in remaining tablespoon butter.
Spoon a generous amount of shrimp mixture onto toasts. Top each toast with caviar, and garnish with dill sprigs. Serve with lemon wedges. Shrimp mixture can be refrigerated 1 day.
