A delicious and hearty stuffed seafood bread bowl filled with shrimp, crab, and a creamy cheese mixture, perfect for sharing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large round sourdough bread loaf
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped
  • 1/2 lb lump crab meat, drained and picked over
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Slice the top off the sourdough loaf and carefully hollow out the center, leaving about a 1-inch thick shell. Reserve the removed bread pieces for dipping later.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, celery, and red bell pepper. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
  3. Add the chopped shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and are just cooked through. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the lump crab meat, combining gently to preserve the crab pieces.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well blended.
  5. Fold the cooked seafood and vegetable mixture into the cheese mixture, stirring until everything is evenly incorporated.
  6. Spoon the seafood and cheese mixture into the hollowed bread bowl, spreading it evenly. Place the filled bread bowl on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the filling is hot, bubbly, and slightly golden on top.
  7. Remove from oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately with the reserved bread chunks or crackers for dipping.

Notes

  • Feel free to add other seafood like scallops or lobster for a different flavor.
  • This dish can be made ahead of time and baked just before serving.
