  • ...enough Parmesan to sprinkle on top of butter

Directions:

This is a one pan dish...
  1. With a sharp bread knife remove the top 1/8 of the baguette.
  2. Using your finger and thumb, remove the center of the bread forming a trough the length of the baguette. Do not remove too much bread.
  3. Place the prawns into the bread tail ends together. This makes sure the shrimp fills the bread evenly.
