Instructions
Step 1
The shrimps are best left to defrost in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Do not rinse with water before using, this would also wash away the delicate flavour!Step 2
Whip up a stable, thick mayonnaise from the yolks, mustard, Worcester sauce, lemon juice and rapeseed oil – first mix all the ingredients well, except for the oil, then add the oil in a small trickle while mixing continuously. Season.Step 3
Drain the shrimps well. Add just enough mayonnaise to coat all the shrimp and make the mixture creamy but not saucy. Carefully pluck the dill tips, chop the lateral stems (not the thick stems) very finely. Add together with the horseradish and mix gently.Step 4
Store the shrimp mix in the fridge whilst you toast the bread slices.Step 5
Heat the butter in a large saucepan, once foaming add the bread slices and cook until golden brown on each side (approx. 2 minutes per slice)Step 6
To assemble put the creamy prawns on a slice of toast and sprinkle over the horseradish mix. Season to taste and finish with a sprinkling of cayenne pepper.
