FAQ – EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE COOKING

Should blinis be eaten hot or cold?

Blinis can be served hot or cold. For toppings like shrimp, smoked fish or fresh cream, they’re often served slightly warm or at room temperature to keep the texture soft and the flavours balanced.

What to put on top of blinis?

Blinis pair well with cream cheese, herbed yogurt, smoked salmon, shrimp, or fresh herbs. They’re perfect for layering rich toppings with something fresh like lemon zest or dill.

What is the best topping for shrimp blinis?

Shrimp blinis are best topped with a lemony cream mixture, fresh herbs, and a bit of crunch like cucumber or radish. The light, bright flavours balance the sweetness of Nordic shrimp.

Can you make blinis ahead of time?

Yes, you can make blinis ahead. Cook them, cool completely, and refrigerate or freeze. Reheat gently in the oven or pan before adding toppings so they stay soft and fluffy.

What sauce goes well with shrimp appetizers?

Shrimp appetizers pair well with lemon-dill sauce, garlic aioli, herbed sour cream, or a light citrus mayo. Bright, creamy sauces enhance the natural sweetness of shrimp.
