Ingredients

  • 1 large sourdough bread bowl
  • 1/2 lb cooked shrimp, chopped
  • 1/2 lb lump crab meat
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  • Prep the Bread: Hollow out the sourdough bread bowl, leaving a sturdy shell. Set aside the removed bread for dipping.
  • Make the Filling: In a bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, mozzarella cheese, green onions, garlic, Old Bay seasoning, paprika, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined.
  • Add Seafood: Gently fold in the shrimp and crab meat until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  • Fill the Bread Bowl: Spoon the seafood mixture into the hollowed-out bread bowl, packing it evenly.
  • Bake: Place the filled bread bowl on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and bubbling.
  • Serve: Garnish with extra green onions and serve warm with the removed bread chunks or crackers for dipping.

Notes

  • Cheese Variety: Try using cheddar, gouda, or parmesan for a different twist on the flavor.
  • Spice it up: Add a dash of hot sauce or chili flakes for an extra spicy kick.
  • Vegetarian Version: For a vegetarian option, replace the seafood with sautéed mushrooms, spinach, and artichokes.
