Creamy, cheesy seafood stuffed in crusty bread bowls, baked to golden perfection for a flavorful and impressive dish.

Ingredients

4 large round bread rolls

1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped

1 cup cooked crab meat

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Slice the tops off the bread rolls and hollow out the insides, leaving about a 1-inch border. Save the removed bread for another use.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, crab meat, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  4. Spoon the seafood mixture into the hollowed-out bread rolls, packing it in tightly.
  5. Place the filled bread bowls on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the filling is heated through.
  6. Serve warm, garnished with extra parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Substitute crab meat or shrimp with scallops or lobster for variation.
  • Add diced bell peppers or green onions for extra crunch and flavor.
  • Use cheddar or pepper jack cheese for a sharper or spicier taste.
  • Use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a lighter version.
  • Try whole wheat or sourdough rolls for different textures and flavors.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes to keep bread crispy.
  • Use gluten-free bread and ingredients to make this gluten-free.
  • Thaw and drain frozen seafood well before use to avoid excess moisture.
  • Prepare the filling a day ahead and refrigerate; fill and bake before serving.
  • Freeze filling separately, assemble and bake fresh for best texture.
  • Serve with fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
