Instructions
Skagenröra
- Rinse the shrimp and crayfish tails and pat dry with a paper towel.

- Chop the dill and chives and mix together with the shrimp and crayfish in a large bowl. Add the zest of about half a lemon to the mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, and about a tablespoon of lemon juice. Set aside the other half of the lemon for garnish.
- Stir the dressing into the shrimp mixture. Add the fish roe and stir well.
Toast
- Butter six slices of white bread (more if using sliced baguette) generously on both sides.
- Fry in a frying pan on medium heat until both sides are golden.
