Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 slices Sliced white sandwich bread
- 300 grams Cooked shrimp, peeled and chopped
- 200 grams Mayonnaise
- 150 grams Sour cream
- 200 grams Cream cheese, softened
- 1 medium Cucumber, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper

- 50 grams Butter, softened

Instructions
Trim the crusts off all the bread slices to create uniform squares or rectangles.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, mayonnaise, sour cream, cream cheese, chopped cucumber, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated to make the shrimp filling.
Spread a thin layer of softened butter onto one side of each slice of bread to prevent it from getting soggy.
Place one slice of bread on a serving tray, buttered side up, and spread a layer of the shrimp filling evenly over it.
Top with another slice of bread and spread a thin layer of shrimp filling again. Continue alternating layers of bread and filling until all bread slices and filling are used, ending with a slice of bread on top.
Spread a smooth, even layer of cream cheese over the top and sides of the loaf to frost it like a cake.
Arrange lettuce leaves, sliced hard-boiled eggs, tomato slices, and shrimp for garnish on the top and sides of the loaf. Sprinkle with fresh herbs for additional decoration.
Refrigerate the sandwich loaf for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the loaf to firm up.
Slice carefully with a sharp knife and serve chilled.
