"Skagenröra is a tart, creamy shrimp salad that is used in Sweden as a topping for toast, hot dogs, baked potatoes, and well, anything else you want to liven up. It is made with mayonnaise, lemon, dill, horseradish, crème fraîche, and shrimp. According to some accounts, this delicious seafood topping was invented by famous Swedish chef Tore Wretman when he was on a lengthy sailing competition and didn't have much to eat on the boat."
"The main ingredients you need to make skagenröra are small shrimp, mayonnaise, crème fraîche, lemon juice, fresh dill, and salt and pepper. Some variations of the recipe incorporate horseradish, Dijon mustard, and red onion or shallots. Because the shrimp are the star of this topping, it helps to start with fresh, high-quality seafood. If that isn't possible, using small frozen shrimp is just fine."
Skagenröra is a tart, creamy shrimp salad used in Sweden as a topping for toast, hot dogs, baked potatoes, and many other dishes. The mixture combines mayonnaise, crème fraîche, lemon, fresh dill, and shrimp, with common additions such as horseradish, Dijon mustard, and red onion or shallots. The topping provides creamy tanginess and salty seafood flavor that complements the starchy sweetness of a baked potato, transforming a simple side into a satisfying, gourmet meal. High-quality small shrimp are recommended, though small frozen shrimp work well when fresh are unavailable. Homemade or store-bought crème fraîche can be used.
