Ingredients
- 4 slices white bread see notes
- 6 oz cooked shrimp prawns, peeled and deveined weight
- 2 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon chopped dill
- ½ tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 ½ tablespoon butter or a little more, as needed, divided
- 3 tablespoon fish roe approximately eg white fish roe
- a few small pieces of dill and a couple slices lemon for garnish
Instructions
- Cut the bread into either triangles or cut out circles with a cutter or glass, as you prefer and depending what suits the shape of your bread. Either way, remove crusts.
- Cut shrimp into small pieces, as needed, depending on the size of the shrimp (with very small ones this is not needed). Place in a bowl and add the mayonnaise, dill, lemon and mustard. Mix everything together so well mixed and the sauce ingredients are evenly spread. Set aside.
- Prepare the garnishes by picking out small pieces of dill and cutting slices of lemon into small wedges.
- Warm roughly half of the butter in a wide skillet/frying pan over a medium heat. Add the bread slices and toast in the butter until lightly golden. Keep an eye as it can go from light brown to dark quickly.
- Turn over the bread and toast on the other side. Add the remaining butter so that the second sides each get some to help them become evenly golden and buttery. Once golden on the second side, remove and set on paper towel to absorb any excess butter.
- Assemble the toasts right before serving - place a spoonful of the shrimp mixture on top of each piece of toast. Top with a small spoonful of the roe in the middle, and add a small wedge of lemon and a piece of dill as garnishes.

Notes
Use a plain bread with small holes such as a sliced white bread or eg country style but one without too many holes.
