Needless to say, this was one of the appetizers on my smorgasbord table this year. In fact, it was one of my son’s favorites. He kept telling me that he felt like it tasted like lobster. In any case, this is my version of a vintage Swedish recipe for peel and eat shrimp. Whenever I go to Scandinavia this is one of the dishes I have to have before I leave the country. Not to mention I often dream about this shrimp as it is so appetizing, succulent, and luscious. All in all, shrimp is one of my favorite things to eat.

Consequently, this boiled lemon dill Shrimp recipe is quick and easy. At any rate, this recipe can be doubled or tripled if need be. Incidentally, seafood is eaten a lot in Scandinavia, not just in Sweden. In short, shrimp is eaten throughout the year as well as during the holidays and festivals such as Christmas, New Year’s, and Midsummer. I myself have served these shrimp at a potluck, Super Bowl Party, 4th of July, Easter, Valentine’s day.
