- Defrost the prawns, drain off any water and place them into a medium sized bowl.
- Add the breadcrumbs, milk, egg yolks, chopped parsley, chives and season well with salt and black pepper.
- Whisk the egg whites until stiff and gently fold them into the prawn mixture.
- Divide the mixture into 6x buttered 125ml ramekin dishes and stand them in a small roasting dish. Add hot water into the dish so that it comes half-way up the ramekins. Bake for 20 mins until golden and well risen.
