Stuffed Seafood Bread Bowl is a cozy, creamy dish served in a hollowed-out sourdough loaf filled with a cheesy seafood mixture of shrimp, crab, and seasonings. Baked until golden and bubbly, it’s perfect for gatherings or chilly nights.

Ingredients

  • 1 round sourdough or artisan bread loaf
  • 1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
  • 1 cup lump crab meat or imitation crab
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning or Cajun spice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: hot sauce to taste
  • Optional: chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut the top off the bread loaf and hollow out the center, leaving about 1 inch of bread around the edges. Reserve the bread chunks for dipping.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic, lemon juice, and seasoning until smooth.
  4. Fold in the shrimp, crab meat, green onions, shredded cheese, and Parmesan cheese until well combined.
  5. Spoon the seafood mixture into the hollowed bread bowl, mounding it slightly on top.
  6. Place the filled bread bowl on a baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the filling is hot and bubbly and the top is golden.
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm with reserved bread chunks, crackers, or vegetables.

Notes

  • Add scallops or clams for more seafood variety.
  • A splash of white wine or Dijon mustard adds depth to the filling.
  • Use individual bread rolls for personal servings.
  • Top with extra cheese before baking for a cheesier finish.
  • Store leftovers without bread to prevent sogginess.
