Seafood Cheese Dip Bowl (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Base
01 -
1 big, crispy sourdough bread bowl
→ Seafood Mix
02 -
½ pound of tender shrimp, cooked and chopped into chunks
03 -
½ pound of fresh, premium crab meat
→ Creamy Base
04 -
1 cup of mozzarella cheese, shredded freshly
05 -
½ cup of soft, creamy cream cheese
06 -
⅓ cup of mayonnaise made with real ingredients
→ Seasonings & Aromatics
07 -
¼ cup of finely diced fresh green onions
08 -
2 large garlic cloves, minced up
09 -
1 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning for a signature taste
10 -
½ teaspoon of smoked paprika to add depth
11 -
1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice
# Instructions:
01 -
Switch your oven on and heat it to 375°F (190°C).
02 -
Cut out the middle of your sourdough loaf carefully. Leave enough edge to hold the stuffing. Don’t toss those bread chunks you removed – we’ll use them as snacks to dip!
03 -
Grab a mixing bowl and combine cream cheese, mayo, shredded mozzarella, green onions, garlic, Old Bay, smoked paprika, and lemon juice. Stir it all until smooth.
04 -
Fold in your shrimp pieces and crab meat into the creamy mix. Do it lightly so your seafood stays chunky and doesn’t fall apart.
05 -
Spoon the seafood mixture into the sourdough bowl, spreading it evenly. Put the bowl onto a baking tray and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until it’s hot and golden.
06 -
Take it out of the oven, sprinkle a little more green onion on top, and serve while hot. Use those leftover bread pieces as dipping bites.
# Notes:
01 -
You can prepare the filling ahead of time – up to a day early. Just keep it separate from the bread until baking.
02 -
Smaller bread bowls make perfect single servings for parties or gatherings.
03 -
Prefer a casserole? You can bake the filling in a dish instead of a bread bowl.
