Ingredients

4 pcs White Bread
2 tbsp Butter
200 g Shrimp
2 tbsp Mayonnaise
2 tbsp Creme Fraiche
3 tbsp Dill
1 pcs Lemon
0.25 tsp White Pepper
0.25 tsp Salt
2 tsp Lumpfish Roe

Method

Pat {shrimp} dry, then roughly chop. Fold with {mayonnaise}, {creme_fraiche}, {dill}, a squeeze of {lemon}, {white_pepper}, and {salt} in a chilled bowl until lightly bound and fresh; taste and adjust so the mixture stays delicate, not heavy.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt {butter} until foaming. Toast {white_bread} on both sides until deeply golden and crisp at the edges, pressing lightly for even contact so the surface stays buttery and crunchy.
Spread a thin film of {butter} on the warm {white_bread}, spoon over the chilled {shrimp} mixture, then finish with a little more {dill}, a few drops of {lemon}, and {lumpfish_roe} if using for a cool, briny contrast.
