DescriptionToast_Skagen_271_SM.jpg
Toast Skagen is an excellent party appetizer, popular in Scandinavian cuisine. Although it is named after a fishing port in Denmark, it was actually invented by a Swedish restaurateur Tore Wretman. This elegant starter features mayonnaise-based shrimp salad on the buttered toast, garnished with caviar.

Ingredients
6 seedless rye bread slices Butter 24 medium shrimp, cooked and chilled 1 tablespoon lemon juice 2 tablespoons mayonnaise 1-2 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped Butter Lettuce, coarsely chopped (I used Napa Cabbage this time) Salmon roe caviar

Directions
Heat a griddle on medium-high heat. Butter the bread slices on both sides. Toast on a griddle for 1-2 minutes per side or until the toasts turn golden brown.

Meanwhile, mix shrimp, lemon juice, Mayonnaise, and dill in a bowl. Top the toasts with the butter lettuce, shrimp mixture (about 4 shrimp per toast) and top each toast a teaspoon of caviar.
