Authentic Danish Hand-Peeled Shrimp Open Faced Sandwich.

Sometimes the simplest things in life are the best. And this is one of my absolute favorites. We all known that ingredients are key to a good recipe. This is especially true of this recipe. The first ingredient are the shrimp that come in many shapes and sizes and from different parts of the world. In Denmark, we prize the cold water shrimp of the North Atlantic the best.

But, depending on where you live, you can always get access to those amazing shrimp. So where I live, in Vancouver, depending on the season we either get North Pacific shrimp or Chilean shrimp. The common denominator with all of these are that they are hand-peeled. They will be darker in color then machine-peeled. They will also have a much more intense flavor.

The other point is to make sure you wash them and dry them well. And of course it doesn’t hurt if you’ve got a really good french bread. This is so simple and I hope you all enjoy.
