Ingredients

Scale

Seafood Filling

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup crab meat (fresh or canned)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Bread Bowl

  • 1 crusty sourdough or Italian bread loaf

Instructions

  1. Prepare the bread bowl: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Using a serrated knife, carefully cut off the top of the bread loaf. Hollow out the inside of the loaf, making sure to leave enough bread around the edges to keep its structure intact.
  2. Mix the seafood filling: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the peeled shrimp, crab meat, garlic powder, lemon juice, chopped parsley, and dill. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Add cheese for richness: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese into the seafood mixture to add creamy richness and flavor depth.
  4. Stuff the bread: Generously fill the hollowed bread loaf with the prepared seafood and cheese mixture until it is overflowing.
  5. Bake the stuffed bread bowl: Place the filled bread bowl on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Bake until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  6. Serve: Allow the stuffed bread bowl to cool slightly for a few minutes. Serve warm alongside crispy fresh vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Use fresh seafood if possible for the best flavor, but frozen seafood works well too; just make sure it’s thawed before mixing.
  • You can substitute cream cheese with a mixture of cream cheese and mayonnaise for extra creaminess.
  • Feel free to add a dash of hot sauce or smoked paprika to the filling for a spicy twist.
  • Leftover bread scooped from the hollowed loaf can be toasted and served as croutons with the meal.
  • This recipe can be adjusted for smaller servings by using mini bread bowls or smaller loaves.
