Recipe: Baked Prawns and Three Cheeses

In this Greek take on a Parmesan-style dish, writes Kyrtatas—author of My Big Fat Greek Feast (Small Potatoes Press, 2004), owner of Hathaway’s in Cinnaminson and director of the website littlegreekchef.com—the secret is to start with good quality fresh prawns. You can use whichever cheeses you have in the house or the ones recommended here. The finished dish works well as an amuse-bouche, an appetizer, or, in large portions, as an entrée.
