- 500 g cream cheese

How to Make It
Preheat oven to 350° F. In a medium-sized sauté pan over medium heat, heat a splash of olive oil. Add onion, garlic, jalapeño and ginger and season lightly with salt. When the onions become translucent, add vinegar and white wine; cook until reduced and remove from heat.
In the work bowl of a food processor, purée the cream cheese, mayonnaise, parsley, lemon juice and zest and green onions. Transfer to a large bowl and gently mix in the seafood and sautéed mixture. Transfer to a casserole dish and spread evenly.
In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs, butter and spices. Sprinkle the crumbs over the mix and bake in oven until hot, and crust has crisped and lightly browned, approximately 15 minutes.
