Shrimp and Dill Toast (Toast Skagen) image

This elegant shrimp salad on buttery toast is a Swedish classic, perfect for springtime entertaining or a light lunch. Aquavit chef Emma Bengtsson uses tiny pre-cooked shrimp from Sweden (available at IKEA or online): their delicate briny flavor is important to the dish, and an ingredient worth seeking out.

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces small pre-boiled Swedish shrimp, or rock shrimp, available at IKEA or online
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 lemon, divided
Kosher salt
Small bunch dill, divided
1/4 Pullman loaf, or 3 thick slices of any high-quality white bread
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more as needed
6 leaves green lettuce

Steps:

  • Shrimp: In a bowl, add shrimp, mayonnaise, juice from half a lemon, and salt to taste. Pull the dill fronds from the stems and roughly chop to get 2 tablespoons, loosely packed (reserve the rest for garnish). Add to the shrimp mixture and stir to combine. Set aside.
  • Toast: Slice the bread into ¾-inch slices. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon butter. When melted, add enough bread slices to fill the pan (about 3). Reduce heat to low and cook 30 seconds. Divide and spread 1 tablespoon butter evenly over the top sides; then flip and cook bread another 30 seconds, adding more butter to the pan as needed. When toast is golden on both sides, transfer to several layers of paper towels to cool, 30 seconds. Cut crust off of toast and slice each piece horizontally into 2 triangles.
  • Assembly: Place toast on a platter. Arrange a lettuce leaf on top of each triangle, making sure the leaf is about the same size as the toast, then add the shrimp. From reserved lemon half, cut three thin slices (wheels), and cut each wheel in half. Make a cut in the middle up to the peel, then twist and place over the shrimp. Garnish with small dill sprigs before serving.

CLASSIC SWEDISH TOAST SKAGEN



Classic Swedish Toast Skagen image

From About.com, this is a classic Swedish recipe. First introduced in 1958, Toast Skagen is now served at many restaurants across the country. It's a recipe that lends itself to experimentation - try adding minced onion or grated horseradish to taste (some recipes even add a dash of chili sauce), or substitute baked potatoes or avocados for the fried toast points.

TOAST SKAGEN - SWEDISH - PRAWN TOAST



Toast Skagen - Swedish - Prawn Toast image

This recipe has been posted here for play in ZWT9 - Scandinavia. This recipe is from website: missmaud.com.au It sounds wonderful to me. Swedish food tends to be influenced by the seasons with the spicing and cooking; often reflecting the storage needs of the peasant communities of old, as in pickled herring, freshly salted or smoked meat, or dairy products that have been curdled, boiled or left to mature.

TOAST SKAGEN FROM SMORGASBORD



Toast Skagen from Smorgasbord image

Classic Toast with Shrimp and Roe ||| Text excerpted from SMORGASBORD © 2017 by Johanna Kindvall ||| Despite the fact that it's named after a Danish fishing port, Toast Skagen is a classic Swedish appetizer. It was invented in the 1950s by Tore Wretman, founder of the Gastronomic Academy in Sweden, while he was on a sailing trip to Skagen, Denmark's northernmost town. When his sailboat suddenly lost wind, Wretman cheered up his crew by whisking together some mayonnaise, hand- peeled shrimp, and fresh dill, then piled it on butter- fried bread and topped it with golden whitefish caviar. This version has the addition of horseradish, which I think goes really well with shrimp. For this recipe, I suggest using extra- small precooked shrimp, but you can also substitute raw shrimp- just be sure to cook them in salted water for a few minutes until cooked through and let them cool completely before adding them to the rest of the ingredients.

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
