Smørrebrød – med Rejer (with Shrimp)

February 14, 2011 by mydanishkitchen

Smørrebrød – med Rejer

Sometime during the Fall Joe and I stopped in at one of my favorite stores IKEA to do some shopping. Of course we had to have lunch at Ikea…its a must, you know.  They had a wonderful piece of Smørrebrød loaded with egg and shrimp, simply delicious. And so this is my recreation of that wonderful piece of Smørrebrød. It has since then become a weekend lunch favorite at our house. Enjoy.

Ingredients:

1 slice Rugbrød (dark Rye bread)

butter (at room temperature)

lettuce

1 hard-boiled egg, sliced

salad shrimp

1 tablespoon lemon juice

salt and pepper

mayonnaise

Directions:

Place salad shrimp in a small bowl and toss with lemon juice, a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread a thin layer of butter onto rugbrød (if desired) and place lettuce on top. Then top with sliced egg, shrimp and mayonnaise. Enjoy.

    But you have to peal the shrimps yourself. Shrimps from a tin is not the same.

      Actually for this I use the frozen salad shrimp. I let them thaw overnight in the fridge, drain them and gently pat them dry with a paper towel before using.

    My mouth watered over the Rugbrød, I used to make Smørrebrød med Rejer, but I’ve always used fresh french bread. I wonder if it’s a regional thing? At any rate, your wonderful pictures made me realize I need to take advantage of living in a place where I can get fresh Shrimp all the time.

    This salad looks so delicious and light! I’m going to make a note to try it the next time I’m there and in the meantime I plan to live vicariously through your delicious version.

    I really love IKEA. They have some delicious eats! Every time I go I get their daim torte. I really need to add that to my list of must attempt recipes. I think I’m now officially needing a trip to IKEA. 🙂

    in Australia I guess I would have to look really hard to find such bread.. I really miss it.

      Oh you’re in Australia. If you could get the ingredients you could try making it. I should attempt to bake the bread myself one day 🙂

    Simple and nice 🙂 I wish I could find such bread here …

    Btw, I like Denmark a lot, though when I was visiting never tried anything traditional..

      Depends on where you live. I am lucky there is one grocery store here where we live which carries it.

    Love that simple salad but I am drooling over the bread.. did you make it yourself?

      No the bread is store-bought but still delicious.
