Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large round sourdough bread bowl
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 8 oz lump crab meat, drained
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut the top off the bread bowl and hollow out the inside, leaving a 1-inch thick shell. Reserve the bread top.
  3. In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
  4. Gently fold in the shrimp and crab meat into the mayonnaise mixture.
  5. Spoon the seafood mixture into the hollowed-out bread bowl.
  6. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Place the bread bowl on a baking sheet. Cover loosely with foil.
  8. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the filling is hot and bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
  9. Serve immediately with the reserved bread top, cut into chunks for dipping.

Notes

  • You can prepare the filling up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate. Assemble and bake just before serving.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the filling.
  • This bread bowl is best served fresh from the oven.
