Instructions
- 1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2. Carefully cut the top off each bread bowl and scoop out the insides, leaving about a half-inch border on the bottom and sides.
- 3. In a medium pan over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the chopped shrimp and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until they turn pink. Remove from heat and set aside.
- 4. In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, Old Bay seasoning, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, and fresh lemon juice. Stir until smooth.
- 5. Gently fold in the cooked shrimp, crab meat, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, and fresh parsley until evenly distributed.
- 6. Evenly divide the seafood filling between the two hollowed-out bread bowls, packing it in tightly. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- 7. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is golden and crispy.
- 8. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with extra fresh parsley, and serve warm.
