Open - Face Bay Shrimp Sandwich

NcMysteryShopper's Note:

A great Scandinavian sandwich that is excellent with a nice bisque! For a Finnish touch, add hard-boiled egg to the sandwich! This would also make a great appetizer or finger food plate. Just cut bread into small pieces and serve. This can also be eaten as a wrap in a tortilla shell.

Very good! I cut egg bread into rounds and used my mandoline to cut the cucumbers very thin, but this is not neccesary. The dill was a surprisingly good taste. I added just a pinch of sugar to the shrimp mixture and grated fresh pepper on top. Yummy!

This wonderful recipe was chosen for the ZWT game...and gosh what an absolute delicious sandwich! I used large cooked black tiger shrimp that I sliced in half, we loved the dill/mayo dressing, and I also added in the egg, just so good! thanks for sharing mcmysteryshopper!...Kitten:)
