Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 large round sourdough bread loaf
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 1/2 pound shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped
  • 1/2 pound lump crab meat (or imitation crab)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise or sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Cut a circle in the top of the bread loaf and hollow out the center, leaving about 1 inch of bread on the sides and bottom to form a bowl. Set the bread bowl and removed pieces aside.
  2. Sauté vegetables and seafood: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil, then sauté the onion, garlic, celery, and bell pepper for 4–5 minutes until softened. Add the chopped shrimp and cook until pink, about 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the crab meat.
  3. Prepare filling: In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, mayonnaise, Old Bay, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth. Add the seafood mixture and stir to combine. Spoon the filling into the bread bowl and place it on a baking sheet.
  4. Bake: Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Optional: during the last 5 minutes, add the bread pieces around the bowl to toast for dipping. Garnish with parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • Great served with toasted bread chunks, crackers, or veggies.
  • You can prepare the filling a day in advance and bake just before serving.
