Toast With Shrimp & Roe (Toast Skagen) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    4 slices of good-quality white bread, crusts removed
    butter (for frying)
    300 g peeled cooked shrimp (fresh is best) or 300 g prawns (fresh is best)
    5 tablespoons mayonnaise
    1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
    2 -3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill (and extra for garnishing)
    100 -150 g fish roe (bleak or whitefish)
    one lemon, quartered
Preparation
    Melt the butter on a frying pan and saute the bread slices on both sides until golden. Place on a kitchen paper to drain excess fat.
    Drain the shrimps, cut into smaller pieces (optional; I left them whole, as they look prettier).
    Mix mayonnaise, mustard and dill, fold in the shrimps. Taste for seasoning - if necessary, add some salt and pepper.
    Spoon the mixture on top of the bread slices.
    Garnish with a large spoonful of caviar and some dill. Serve with a lemon quarter.
