Räksmörgås

The prawn open sandwich of Gothenburg, Sweden’s fishing port: buttered bread, lettuce, hard-boiled egg and a mound of freshly peeled prawns, with mayonnaise, dill and lemon.

• Serves 4
• 20 min

Ingredients

• 4 slices of white or rye bread
• 600 g cooked prawns in their shells (about 300 g peeled)
• 2 hard-boiled eggs
• Lettuce
• Mayonnaise
• Dill
• Lemon
• Fish roe (optional)

How to make it at home

1. Peel the prawns.
2. Butter the bread and add a lettuce leaf.
3. Add slices of hard-boiled egg and a line of mayonnaise.
4. Pile on a mountain of prawns.
5. Garnish with dill, a slice of lemon and, if you like, a little roe.

The trick: Hand-peeled prawns: frozen peeled ones don’t taste the same.
