Hi there, you would bake the mixture in the shells. No need to bake the shells first. 🙂

If I were to make this as a HOT app, would I bake the shells first and then add the filling and bake for another 10-12 minutes or do I start with raw shells, add the filling, and then bake? Thank you!

Hi Sarah, Instead of the hearts of palm, you can use jackfruit or artichokes in water. You can omit the worcestershire sauce entirely, or add a splash of tamari or soy sauce. Instead of Old Bay, you can use any sort of seafood seasoning. Let me know if you have any other questions. Have a great time at the party! 🙂

Just found your recipe and would like to try it out as ist sounds amazing and fits a themed party we're having on Halloween.
Just wondering if you have an idea for a substitute for the hearts of palm, the vegan worcester sauce and the old bay seasoning? I'm in Germany and these are a bit hard to find here and I usually try to to not buy through Amazon.

Best wishes
Sarah
