Ingredients

• 12 slices Sliced white sandwich bread
• 300 grams Cooked shrimp, peeled and chopped
• 200 grams Mayonnaise
• 150 grams Sour cream
• 200 grams Cream cheese, softened
• 1 medium Cucumber, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 3 large Hard-boiled eggs, sliced
• 2 medium Tomatoes, thinly sliced
• 8 leaves Lettuce leaves
• 50 grams Butter, softened
• 50 grams Cooked shrimp for garnish
• 2 tablespoons Fresh herbs for garnish (such as dill or parsley)

Directions

Step 1

Trim the crusts off all the bread slices to create uniform squares or rectangles.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, mayonnaise, sour cream, cream cheese, chopped cucumber, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated to make the shrimp filling.

Step 3

Spread a thin layer of softened butter onto one side of each slice of bread to prevent it from getting soggy.

Step 4

Place one slice of bread on a serving tray, buttered side up, and spread a layer of the shrimp filling evenly over it.

Step 5

Top with another slice of bread and spread a thin layer of shrimp filling again. Continue alternating layers of bread and filling until all bread slices and filling are used, ending with a slice of bread on top.

Step 6

Spread a smooth, even layer of cream cheese over the top and sides of the loaf to frost it like a cake.

Step 7

Arrange lettuce leaves, sliced hard-boiled eggs, tomato slices, and shrimp for garnish on the top and sides of the loaf. Sprinkle with fresh herbs for additional decoration.

Step 8

Refrigerate the sandwich loaf for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the loaf to firm up.

Step 9

Slice carefully with a sharp knife and serve chilled.
