NORWEGIAN OPEN FACED SANDWICHES
My DBIL was born in Norway and really likes his heritage dishes to eat. This is his favorite lunch or snack. He uses all kinds of breads...except what he calls (American) Air Bread. When I have visited it appears his preference is Pumpernickel and Sourdough. My sister says that when they go to Norway to visit DBIL's lifelong friend...that the friend's wife serves these open-faced sandwiches all day long. Any kind of meat and cheese can be used...I'm simply mentioning those which my DBIL seems to eat the most often. At Norwegian parties I have attended the 'open faced' sandwiches were premade with various meats and cheeses and stacked beautifully on a large platter.

Steps:
- Butter each slice of bread with half the butter.
- Spread half the mustard on top of each buttered slice of bread.
- Lay a slice of meat on top of the 2 slices of bread.
- Lay half the cheese on top of the meat.
- Serve with the Pickles and olives on the side.
- This makes 2 topless sandwiches which is what 'open faced' means.
- Can be sliced in half if bread is too large or eaten with a knife and fork.
Tips:
- Use the freshest shrimp possible. Look for shrimp that are firm and have a slight briny smell.
- If you don't have access to fresh shrimp, you can use frozen shrimp. Just thaw them completely before using.
- Be careful not to overcook the shrimp. They should be cooked just until they are opaque and pink.
- Use a good quality mayonnaise. This will make a big difference in the taste of the sandwich.
- Add some fresh herbs, such as dill or chives, to the mayonnaise for extra flavor.
- Serve the sandwiches immediately after they are made. This will prevent the bread from getting soggy.
Conclusion:
Norwegian open-faced shrimp sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. They are perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and they can also be served as an appetizer. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a tasty and satisfying meal that is sure to please everyone at the table.
