How to make toast Skagen.
Put cooked shrimp, finely chopped red onion and finely chopped dill into a bowl. Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, lemon juice, mayonnaise and sour cream.
Brush each slice of toast bread on both sides with butter and place it on a hot pan. Bake over a medium heat for about 3-4 minutes or until slightly golden brown on both sides. After baking, cut the bread slices in half, so that two triangles are formed from each slice, and cover each one with the shrimp salad. Serve the toasts with salmon caviar. Additionally, they can be decorated with fresh dill and red onion.

In this dish, I used frozen raw prawns that I cooked in hot water for a minute. Once cooked, I poured them through a colander and let them cool down.
