Try this refreshing open-faced sandwich 🦐🥪

A favorite in our home for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Räksmörgås is a popular Scandinavian shrimp sandwich that leaves plenty of room for adaptability. Try it with or without ham, use a dill & mayo based spread instead, or add some smoked salmon in lieu of or alongside fresh shrimp. Best on crispbread or any other firm bread.

... Read moreThe Swedish shrimp sandwich, known as Räksmörgås, is not just a meal; it's an experience that exudes Scandinavian culinary charm. Often enjoyed for breakfast or brunch, this open-faced sandwich can be tailored to your taste. Use fresh shrimp combined with sliced cucumbers for a refreshing crunch, or consider adding ham for an extra layer of flavor. Alternative spreads, such as a dill-infused mayonnaise, bring a zesty twist. You can also experiment with smoked salmon, which adds depth to the dish and is a favorite choice among many enthusiasts. The key is to use a slice of firm bread, such as crispbread or rye, which holds up well under the weight of the toppings, ensuring each bite is satisfying. Besides being delicious, this shrimp sandwich is visually appealing, making it perfect for brunch gatherings or special occasions. It’s typically adorned with garnishes like fresh herbs, lettuce, or even eggs, elevating its presentation. Whether on a casual day or a festive occasion, Räksmörgås captures the essence of Scandinavian food beautifully, blending flavors and ingredients harmoniously. This dish not only satisfies hunger but also sparks joy through its colorful and appetizing appearance.
