I've lived in Rhode Island for many years and love the fresh seafood dishes served here. This recipe from my mother-in-law is a favorite of mine. —Norma DesRoches, Warwick, Rhode Island

  • 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, optional
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley or 2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
