mayonnaise

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

shrimp

1

Peel the shrimp by taking off the head first, then the top shell, and finally pulling the tail away.

Roughly chop up two shrimp, leaving some whole for later use.

3

Mix together equal parts of sour cream and homemade mayonnaise, about 50% each.

4

Add half of a red onion, finely chopped, to the mixture.

5

Add around two tablespoons of lemon juice to the mixture.

6

Season with a pinch of salt and a pinch of white pepper.

7

Stir everything together to combine the shrimp salad.

8

Heat a cast-iron pan and add a generous amount of butter until melted.

9

Toast slices of sourdough bread in the melted butter until dark caramelized brown, ensuring they are toasted but not burnt.

Spread a generous layer of the shrimp salad on each slice of toasted sourdough bread.

11

Garnish with a clove of lemon, twigs of dill, and optional fish roe for presentation.
