    Cut the bread into 4 equal slices. Lightly butter each slice. Rinse the lettuce leaves, dry them thoroughly, and divide them among the slices.

  2. Season the shrimp

    Pat the shrimp dry once more with a paper towel. Squeeze 8 ml of juice from the lemon and mix it with the mayonnaise, salt, and black pepper. Gently toss the shrimp with the lemon mayonnaise so they do not break apart.

  3. Assemble the open-faced sandwiches

    Place a lettuce leaf on each buttered slice. Divide the shrimp into four portions and pile them on the lettuce so they remain visible. Divide any mayonnaise left in the bowl among the slices.

  4. Finish and serve

    Pull the dill into small sprigs and arrange them over the shrimp. Cut the remaining lemon into small wedges and serve them alongside the sandwiches. Serve immediately, while the bread is firm and the shrimp are cold.
