Steps:
- Place potatoes in a medium saucepan; add enough water to cover by 1 inch. Add 2 tablespoons salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-high and cook until potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together pickling liquid, mustard, and sugar. Whisk in oil; season with salt and pepper. Stir in fennel fronds. Transfer potatoes to a bowl with a slotted spoon, and toss with 2 tablespoons dressing.
- Return water to a boil; add shrimp. Remove from heat and let stand, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are bright pink and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer to an ice-water bath until cool. Drain well. Toss lettuce and sliced fennel with 2 tablespoons dressing; arrange on a platter. Top with potatoes, shrimp, cornichons, and eggs. Drizzle with remaining dressing; serve.
SHRIMP AND DILL TOAST (TOAST SKAGEN)
This elegant shrimp salad on buttery toast is a Swedish classic, perfect for springtime entertaining or a light lunch. Aquavit chef Emma Bengtsson uses tiny pre-cooked shrimp from Sweden (available at IKEA or online): their delicate briny flavor is important to the dish, and an ingredient worth seeking out.

Steps:
- Shrimp: In a bowl, add shrimp, mayonnaise, juice from half a lemon, and salt to taste. Pull the dill fronds from the stems and roughly chop to get 2 tablespoons, loosely packed (reserve the rest for garnish). Add to the shrimp mixture and stir to combine. Set aside.
- Toast: Slice the bread into ¾-inch slices. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon butter. When melted, add enough bread slices to fill the pan (about 3). Reduce heat to low and cook 30 seconds. Divide and spread 1 tablespoon butter evenly over the top sides; then flip and cook bread another 30 seconds, adding more butter to the pan as needed. When toast is golden on both sides, transfer to several layers of paper towels to cool, 30 seconds. Cut crust off of toast and slice each piece horizontally into 2 triangles.
- Assembly: Place toast on a platter. Arrange a lettuce leaf on top of each triangle, making sure the leaf is about the same size as the toast, then add the shrimp. From reserved lemon half, cut three thin slices (wheels), and cut each wheel in half. Make a cut in the middle up to the peel, then twist and place over the shrimp. Garnish with small dill sprigs before serving.
