Prawn Sandwich Recipe Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough rye bread – feel free to switch to any other bread you like – try wholegrain or tiger bread.
- 1 tbs butter – I always use butter, but you can use a olive oil or sunflower spread if you prefer
- 200g cooked king prawns
- 1 tbs mayonnaise
- 1/2 tsp horseradish sauce
- small bunch of dill – I grow this in my little herb garden, it’s a lovely herb to have to hand, great with fish or eggs.
- zest of 1 lemon
- small handful of cress
How to make Swedish style prawn sandwiches
I like to make these sandwiches on sourdough rye bread, lightly toasted with lots of butter.
Whilst the bread toasts mix up the creamy prawn topping.
Just add the horseradish sauce to the mayonnaise and mix it together.
Then tip in the prawns and stir them into the dressing gently.
Pile the prawns onto the toast and scatter over the chopped dill, lemon zest and cress.
I have to eat them straightaway, our open prawn sandwich recipe is far too delicious to wait! If I’m making this as a simple dinner I’d probably add a glass of icy cold Chardonnay on the side.
You can use the prawns tossed in horseradish, mayonnaise and lemon zest as a delicious prawn sandwich filler too, it’s delicious on wholemeal bread.
