Smørrebrød comes from smør og brød

White asparagus is the most traditional for this sandwich.  Add either small size shrimps or cut larger shrimps into smaller pieces into a bowl.  Add 4 or 5 large tablespoons of mayonnaise.  Mix everything together.  Add either a couple drops of Worcestershire sauce (lemon juice is another option).

Next spread butter onto either a slice of French or Italian bread.  Place several pieces of either Boston or Romaine lettuce leaves on the bread.  Scoop several spoonfuls of the shrimp asparagus mixture onto the lettuce. For both decoration and taste add several slices of asparagus on top.  Garnish with a wedge of lemon and chopped dill or parsley.

Serve on plate with silverware.  It is a great sandwich for either lunch or dinner.  If need you desire to serve this as an appetizer, slice the bread into smaller pieces.
