Skagen salad (skagenröra)

Today, skagenröra loosely refers to any creamy salad made from something that could possibly be red shellfish.

This mix of shrimp (prawns) and mayo was invented by Swedish chef Tore Wretman in the 1950s and it was named after the northern Danish city of Skagen. Skagen salad is funnily enough almost completely unknown in Denmark, whereas in Sweden it has remained one of the most popular appetisers.
