- Spoon a generous amount of the mixture onto toast/fried bread and garnish with a dollop of caviar, a sprig of dill and a lemon wedge
Recipe Notes
To make sure that the mix remains its mayo-texture, drain the shrimps well if you buy them in a jar or frozen. If you buy fresh shrimp and peel them yourself it is less of a problem. A too liquid/soft mix does not quite cut it so be careful.
If you can only find bigger shrimp, cut them in half. Avoid small shrimps, they are tasteless and mushy
1 tbs of minced horseradish adds on a nice scent
Alternative ways to enjoy could be served in an avocado, as a canapé or in a baked potato
