{{RecipeIngredients
| 1 lb cooked [[shrimps]] or [[prawns]], shelled and cleaned
| 2 tablespoons melted [[butter]]
| Juice of 1 [[lemon]]
| 1 tablespoon [[Worcestershire sauce]]
| ½ teaspoon [[chili powder]]
| ½ teaspoon [[anchovy paste]] or finely chopped or ground [[anchovies]]
| [[Breadcrumbs]] from 3 slices stale bread, crusts removed
| 3 tablespoons flaked [[almonds]]

}}

===[[Mise en place]]===
* Preheat the oven to 450° F (230° C - Gas 8 - Hot)

===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Mix everything together but the breadcrumbs and add to a buttered [[baking]] dish
| Mix the [[breadcrumbs]] and [[almonds]] together and sprinkle the over the top
| [[Bake]] until the [[breadcrumbs]] are golden
}}
===Serving suggestions===

Serve hot with fresh [[parsley]]
===Variations===

Try a mixture of [[prawns]] and [[crab]] or [[lobster]] meat for a more luxurious dish

What about a [[:Category:Tex-Mex recipes|Mexican angle]]? Add 2 tablespoons of [[Taco seasoning]] instead of the [[Worcestershire sauce]] & [[chili powder]], keep the anchovies though as they help to lift the prawns.
