Weigh shrimp, peeled, mayonnaise, dill, lemon juice, country bread, prepared horseradish, kosher salt. Toast Skagen is cooked in Sweden as its own dish. Fold cold shrimp with dill and a little mayonnaise and pile them on toast. Amounts are scaled for four from foods this library can count, so the nutrition panel comes from those ingredients.

Scene 12 · mistakes · 7s
If it goes wrong
Shot. Split screen is unnecessary. Show the finished, correct texture, then a hand points at the cue.
Voiceover. Toast Skagen looks done at the edge and is still raw in the center. Trust the cue, not the color. Check the thickest piece and give it a few more minutes. Toast Skagen turned out salty, dry, or watery. Weigh the salt and the liquid next time. Keep the heat at the temperature in the method, and stop when the doneness cue appears.
