A delightful seafood salad baked to perfection, combining shrimp and crab with a creamy, flavorful dressing.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated to achieve even baking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced green pepper, chopped onion, celery, cooked shrimp, and flaked crab meat.
Chop the vegetables uniformly for consistent texture.
Add the mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper to the bowl and mix well.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and spread it evenly.
Use a shallow dish for even cooking.
Sprinkle the panko bread crumbs over the top and drizzle with melted butter.
For extra crunch, toast the bread crumbs lightly before adding.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, until the top is golden brown.
Check halfway through to ensure even browning.
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with smoked paprika, and serve with fresh lemon wedges.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
