Research draft based on the references below. These notes describe particular recipes and presentations; ingredient connections are still being reviewed.
Ströberg’s shrimp sandwich for Arla combines shell-on shrimp, cucumber, radishes, red onion and dill with a lemon mayonnaise made from milk and oil. Visit Sweden identifies räksmörgås as a Swedish shrimp-sandwich classic.
Milk, oil and a teaspoon of lemon juice are put in a mixer bowl. An immersion blender turns them into a thick cream; finely grated lemon zest and salt are then stirred in.
The shrimp are peeled, and four eggs are hard-boiled and peeled. Cucumber, red onion and radishes are sliced.
The lemon mayonnaise is spread over four prepared tekakor breads. Salad mix, cucumber, red onion, radishes, shrimp and dill are placed on top.
Lemon wedges are an optional accompaniment. The crisp vegetable slices and fresh lemon mayonnaise give the sandwich the character described in Arla’s introduction.
