NORWEGIAN OPEN FACED SANDWICHES



Norwegian Open Faced Sandwiches image

My DBIL was born in Norway and really likes his heritage dishes to eat. This is his favorite lunch or snack. He uses all kinds of breads...except what he calls (American) Air Bread. When I have visited it appears his preference is Pumpernickel and Sourdough. My sister says that when they go to Norway to visit DBIL's lifelong friend...that the friend's wife serves these open-faced sandwiches all day long. Any kind of meat and cheese can be used...I'm simply mentioning those which my DBIL seems to eat the most often. At Norwegian parties I have attended the 'open faced' sandwiches were premade with various meats and cheeses and stacked beautifully on a large platter.

Tips:

  • Use the freshest shrimp possible. Fresh shrimp should have a briny smell and be firm to the touch.
  • If you don't have access to fresh shrimp, frozen shrimp can be used. Just thaw them before using.
  • Be careful not to overcook the shrimp. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy.
  • Use a good quality mayonnaise. Real mayonnaise made with egg yolks and oil will give you a better flavor than a low-quality mayonnaise.
  • Add some fresh herbs to the mayonnaise for extra flavor. Dill, chives, and parsley are all good choices.
  • Serve the shrimp salad on a bed of lettuce or watercress.
  • Garnish the shrimp salad with a lemon wedge and some fresh dill.
  • Conclusion:

    Norwegian open-faced shrimp sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or lunch. They are perfect for a summer party or a casual get-together. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is both beautiful and delicious.
