Ingredients
1 large round bread loaf (sourdough or other crusty bread)
1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
1 cup lump crab meat
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Prep the Bread Bowl: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the top off the bread loaf and hollow out the inside, leaving about an inch of bread on the sides. Save the removed bread for dipping.
Make the Seafood Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Fill the Bread Bowl: Spoon the seafood mixture into the hollowed-out bread bowl, packing it gently.
Bake: Place the stuffed bread bowl on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is hot and bubbly and the bread is golden brown.
Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm with the reserved bread pieces for dipping.
