This is a traditional Swedish recipe, which is a big favourite any time of year. It simultaneously reminds me of New Year's Eve and Midsummer's Eve. It makes a great, quick appetiser but also a nice lunch.



Ingredients

100g peeled prawns (or shrimp)
2 tbsp red onion or shallot  (shallot gives a milder onion flavour)
3 tbsp mayonnaise
2 tbsp creme fraiche
2 tsp juice of half a lemon
2 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
salt and white pepper
2 slices of white toast (any will do)

Preparation 

1. Finely chop the red onion. Roughly chop the prawns if using large ones otherwise keep whole. 
2. Combine the onion and prawns with the mayonnaise and creme fraiche. 
3. Add the lemon juice, dill and seasoning. Adjust the amount of salt and pepper to taste. 
4. Top your toast with the skagen mix. 
5. Garnish with a bit of dill and serve with a lemon wedge. 
6. Enjoy!
