Toast With Shrimp & Roe (Toast Skagen) image

ZWT7 Switzerland. This is a very festive and popular starter. It's not cheap - both good shrimps, preferably from the waters around Smögen island and good roe are required. But if you are looking for that special starter for a special occasion, then this is very elegant, good-looking and delicious. This beautiful appetiser was developed by Dr Tore Wretman (1916-2003), who served a version of this dish in his Stockholm restaurant in 1958. Posted on http://nami-nami.blogspot.com

Time 16m

Yield 4 appetizers, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 slices of good-quality white bread, crusts removed
butter (for frying)
300 g peeled cooked shrimp (fresh is best) or 300 g prawns (fresh is best)
5 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 -3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill (and extra for garnishing)
100 -150 g fish roe (bleak or whitefish)
one lemon, quartered

Steps:

  • Melt the butter on a frying pan and sauté the bread slices on both sides until golden. Place on a kitchen paper to drain excess fat.
  • Drain the shrimps, cut into smaller pieces (optional; I left them whole, as they look prettier).
  • Mix mayonnaise, mustard and dill, fold in the shrimps. Taste for seasoning - if necessary, add some salt and pepper.
  • Spoon the mixture on top of the bread slices.
  • Garnish with a large spoonful of caviar and some dill. Serve with a lemon quarter.
