• 400g cooked cold-water prawns in the shell
• 4 thick slices of loff (soft white bread)
• good butter, softened
• Dressing: 4 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp finely chopped dill
• 1 lemon, in wedges
• salt, white pepper

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Buy the prawns in the shell and peel them yourself. Pre-peeled prawns are washed, and washing takes the sweetness with it — this dish is three ingredients and the prawns are all three.
2. Butter the bread thickly and right to the edges. The butter is a seal as much as a flavour; it stops the bread going soggy under the dressing.
3. Mix the mayonnaise with the lemon juice and dill and season. Keep it loose enough to spoon, not pipe.
4. Pile the prawns on the bread — properly pile them, so the bread disappears — and spoon the dressing over.
5. Black pepper, a wedge of lemon, and eat it outdoors. On the Oslofjord this is eaten on the boat with the shells going straight over the side.
