Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces large prawns, peeled and deveined
- 150 grams crab meat (lump or claw), cooked
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Lay the cleaned prawns flat on the prepared baking sheet and lightly season them with a pinch of salt and pepper.
In a medium bowl, combine the crab meat, melted butter, panko breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped parsley, minced garlic, Old Bay seasoning, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well to create a consistent topping mixture.
Using a spoon, carefully place a generous amount of the crab mixture onto each prawn, pressing it gently to adhere.
Once all prawns are topped, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the prawns are opaque and the topping is golden brown.
Remove the prawns from the oven and let them rest for 1-2 minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional chopped parsley or a wedge of lemon for added freshness, if desired.
