Toast skagen

Toast skagen is an elegant Swedish dish made from a beautiful creamy prawn (shrimp) salad called skagenröra served on a crispy buttery piece of toast, topped with lumpfish caviar, dill and a slice of lemon. Skagen toast is typically served as an appetizer, canape' or finger food at Swedish dinner parties and in restaurants.

It's classy, magically good, classical and fresh. The perfect start to any meal.

This skagen toast recipe was inspired by and is based on my prawn shrimp skagen recipe on this site
