Skagen or toast Skagen is one of the most common starters in Sweden, created by the famous Swedish chef Tore Wretman in the 1950s. In Wretman's recipe, it's just shrimp, mayonnaise and, according to some versions, dill. Our version contains the classic flavors combined with new and exciting flavors that give a twist with a little sting. This version of Skagen has been named by a foodie with a special fondness for Skagen as the best he has eaten. Skagen can be served in many different ways. See bottom of recipe.
