2 tbsp chopped chives
1/2 lemon
6 tbsp sour cream
5 tbsp mayonnaise
2 tbsp red fish roe (optional)

mayonnaise

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

🥗Healthier: crab meat

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Canned tuna is more affordable and still provides a seafood flavor.

1

Rinse the shrimp and crayfish tails and pat dry with a paper towel.

2

Chop about half of the shrimp and crayfish tails into smaller bits. Set aside a handful of shrimp for garnish, if you wish.

3

Chop the dill and chives and mix together with the shrimp and crayfish in a large bowl. Add the zest of about half a lemon to the mixture.

4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, and about a tablespoon of lemon juice. Set aside the other half of the lemon for garnish.

5

Stir the dressing into the shrimp mixture. Add the fish roe and stir well.

6

Butter six slices of white bread generously on both sides.

7

Fry in a frying pan on medium heat until both sides are golden.

8

Scoop a generous portion of skagenröra onto each toast slice. Garnish with shrimp, a teaspoon of fish roe, a small slice of lemon, and fresh dill.
