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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2
Lay the cleaned prawns flat on the prepared baking sheet and lightly season them with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Using a spoon, carefully place a generous amount of the crab mixture onto each prawn, pressing it gently to adhere.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Remove the prawns from the oven and let them rest for 1-2 minutes before serving.
Step 7
Garnish with additional chopped parsley or a wedge of lemon for added freshness, if desired.
