🛒 Ingredients

Bread Base

  • 1 loaf crusty Italian bread

  • ¼ cup butter, melted

Seafood Filling

  • 1 pound fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened

  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • ½ cup lump crab meat (optional but amazing)

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

  • Salt & black pepper, to taste

Optional Toppings

  • Extra melted butter

  • Chopped parsley

  • Parmesan sprinkle

👩‍🍳 Directions (7 Steps)

1. Prep the Bread

Slice the Italian loaf into thick rounds or cut it into pull-apart chunks. Brush each piece with melted butter to create that golden, crispy base.

2. Cook the Shrimp

Chop shrimp into small bite-sized pieces. Quickly sauté in a skillet with a tiny splash of oil for 2–3 minutes, just until pink. Do not overcook. Let cool slightly.

3. Mix the Seafood Filling

In a bowl, combine cream cheese, mozzarella, crab meat (if using), garlic, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper. Fold in the cooked shrimp until evenly mixed and creamy.

4. Stuff the Bread

Take each bread piece and cut a slit or gently open a pocket. Stuff generously with the shrimp-crab filling, packing it in so each bite is loaded.

5. Arrange on a Tray

Place the stuffed bread bombs onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

6. Bake Until Golden

Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes, or until the bread edges are crispy and the filling is hot and melty.

7. Finish & Serve

Brush with a bit more melted butter, sprinkle parsley or Parmesan, and serve immediately while warm and gooey. Enjoy the cheesy seafood goodness!
