Toast Skagen a Scrumptious Swedish Sandwich

One of my favorite sandwiches is this delectable open faced shrimp sandwich. Growing up going to Sweden during the summer I was able to discover some of the most delicious culinary treats known to man. Toast Skagen is an elegant sandwich or appetizer, the main attraction is the fresh shrimp and whitefish roe on top. This sandwich is so light and simple but packed with a plethora of flavor.
