Method
Preparation
Prepare the Pasta
Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Sauté the Shrimp
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the jumbo shrimp and season with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until they turn pink and are cooked through.
Prepare the Crabmeat Mixture
In a separate bowl, mix the lump crabmeat with cream cheese and lemon juice until well combined. Gently fold in the cooked shrimp.
Broil the Dish
Preheat your broiler. On a baking dish, layer the cooked pasta and then top with the shrimp and crabmeat mixture. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Broil for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.
Serve
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot and enjoy your Shrimp & Lump Crabmeat Melba!
