Prawn Skagen, pickled cucumbers & archipelago bread – a fresh delight

Prawn Skagen, pickled cucumbers & archipelago bread is an impressive yet easy dish to serve, combining a rich prawn spread with fresh herbs and sweet-and-sour cucumbers. Ready in 25 minutes, this treat is perfect for a weekend supper, a festive spread, brunch or a leisurely lunch.

What makes prawn Skagen special?

The delicious flavour of Skagen comes from juicy prawns, creamy mayonnaise, tangy lemon and finely chopped red onion, dill and chives. Homemade pickled cucumbers add crunch and a fresh contrast to the dish. The prawns provide protein, while the cucumber and fresh herbs make the dish light and colourful. The recipe is dairy-free, but contains egg and shellfish.

How to get great results and vary the flavour

Drain the prawns thoroughly and pat them dry with kitchen paper so that the Skagen does not become watery. Finely chop the red onion and let the Skagen rest in the fridge before serving – this allows the flavours to blend. The pickled cucumbers are quick to prepare, but you can leave them to develop their flavour for a little longer. Adjust the amount of vinegar and sugar to taste, or add a pinch of lemon zest to accentuate the freshness.

Serve the Skagen beautifully on archipelago bread

Spoon the Skagen into a bowl or serve it directly on slices of archipelago bread. Serve the pickled cucumbers in a separate bowl or spoon them onto the bread just before eating, so that the bread stays firm. Garnish the portions with dill, chives and lemon wedges. Sparkling water or water flavoured with lemon makes an excellent accompaniment.
