A delicious and comforting dish, this Stuffed Seafood Bread Bowl combines tender shrimp, lump crab meat, and creamy cheese baked inside a crispy sourdough bowl. Perfect for sharing as an appetizer or serving as a main course with a side salad.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large sourdough bread bowl
  • ½ lb cooked shrimp, chopped
  • ½ lb lump crab meat
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup cream cheese, softened
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup green onions, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

1. Prep the Bread Bowl (5 min)

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Carefully hollow out the sourdough bread, leaving a ½-inch thick shell. Save the removed bread for dipping.

2. Mix the Filling (10 min)

  • In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, mozzarella, green onions, garlic, Old Bay, smoked paprika, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth.
  • Gently fold in the shrimp and crab meat to avoid breaking up the crab too much.

3. Fill & Bake (25 min)

  • Spoon the seafood mixture into the bread bowl, packing it evenly.
  • Place on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden and the filling is bubbly.

4. Serve Warm

  • Garnish with extra green onions and serve immediately with the reserved bread chunks or crackers for dipping.

Notes

  • Use fresh crab meat for the best flavor, but canned or imitation crab works in a pinch.
  • For extra richness, add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top before baking.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper to the filling.
  • Don’t overmix the seafood to keep the texture delicate.
