Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly oil a baking dish and set it aside.

In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.

Step 6

Spoon the crabmeat mixture evenly over the prawns in the baking dish. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the crabmeat layer.

Step 7

Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and drizzle over the breadcrumbs for added richness.

Step 8
