Cooking Instructions

Step 1

This recipe yields about 3 servings, perfect for enjoying alongside other dishes. Feel free to scale up the ingredients if you’re planning a larger gathering or want to make a more generous portion.

Step 1

Step 2

Prepare the scallops by gently loosening and removing one half of the shell. For the large shrimp, make a shallow cut along the back with a knife to devein and butterfly them. This preparation allows the topping to adhere better and creates an attractive presentation when baked.

Step 2

Step 3

In a bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese (200g), tobiko (3 Tbsp), mayonnaise (2 Tbsp), and dried parsley flakes (1 Tbsp). Add the finely minced red chilies (from 1 chili, seeds removed) for a touch of color and mild heat. Mix all these ingredients thoroughly with a spatula or spoon until you have a well-blended cheese topping mixture.

Step 4

Generously spoon the prepared cheese topping mixture onto the butterflied shrimp. Ensure an even layer covers the shrimp surface for a mouthwatering finish.

Step 5

Next, carefully top the prepared scallops with the same delicious cheese mixture. Don’t be shy – piling it high will ensure a wonderfully melted and gooey topping once baked.

Now, place the topped shrimp and scallops onto a baking sheet. They are ready to go into the oven, looking absolutely irresistible already!

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes. Once preheated, bake the shrimp and scallops for approximately 10 minutes, or until the cheese is beautifully melted and golden brown. This recipe also works wonderfully in an air fryer; adjust the time to about 8-10 minutes at 180°C (350°F).
