We sure do love our shrimps toast in Sweden! There are kind of two versions of it. One using Skagenröra and topping it with fish roe and dill or making it with shrimps and mayonnaise. This is a Swedish shrimp toast made healthier but still tasting delicious. I you love shrimps you will love this shrimp toast!It is warm, crunchy, fresh and creamy at the same time. I love the mix of fresh (gluten free) bread, crunchy vegetables, delicate shrimps, boiled egg, creamy dressing and salty fish roe. It’s such a wonderful combination that just melts in your mouth. This dressing is made using Creme Fraiche and dijon mustard (you can add some mayonnaise if you like to but its really delicious without), that makes it creamy and flavorful but still keeps it light and healthier than making a mayonnaise based dressing. This shrimp toast is perfect to serve for lunch, brunch or as a starter.
A few tips:
- Use good quality shrimps. Preferably the once you peel yourself. Don’t don’t don’t buy the small peeled once. Then you might as well just not make this toast. The shrimps are E V E R Y T H I N G!
- I made the dressing using reduced fat Creme Fraiche to keep it light and fresh. But you can use regular one as well.
- I did not use any mayonnaise when making the dressing, but if you prefer mayonnaise in yours you can add about some according to taste.
- Boil the eggs according to how well done you prefer them.
- If you can’t find radishes at the store you can replace them by any other crunchy vegetable, like cucumber or fennel
