Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams peeled and cooked shrimp
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 small red onion
- 1 medium avocado
- 2 slices whole grain bread
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Begin by finely chopping the fresh dill and slicing the red onion into thin strips.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, chopped dill, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
3. Chop the cooked shrimp into bite-sized pieces if they are too large, and add them to the bowl with the yogurt-mayonnaise mixture. Gently fold the shrimp into the dressing until they are well coated.
4. Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and carefully scoop the flesh out using a spoon. Dice the avocado into small cubes.
5. Toast the whole grain bread slices until they are golden brown and slightly crisp.
6. To assemble, place the toasted bread slices on a serving plate. Drizzle a bit of olive oil over each slice for added flavor.
7. Top the bread with an even layer of sliced red onions and diced avocado.
8. Spoon the shrimp mixture generously over the avocado and spread it evenly across each slice.
9. Garnish with extra sprigs of dill if desired, and serve immediately to enjoy this refreshing Mediterranean-inspired Swedish Skagen.
