Ingredients
Scale
For the Bread Bowl
- 1 Large Sourdough Bread Bowl
For the Seafood Filling
- 1 lb Seafood Mix (shrimp, crab, and lobster)
- 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (parsley or dill), chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp Paprika
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread Bowl: Start by carefully hollowing out the sourdough bread bowl. Ensure you leave enough bread on the sides to hold the filling without breaking. Save the bread chunks for serving alongside the dish.
- Create the Seafood Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the seafood mix with softened cream cheese, heavy cream, minced garlic, and parmesan cheese. Stir until everything is well combined and creamy.
- Season the Mixture: Add salt, pepper, and paprika to taste. Don’t forget to fold in the fresh herbs for an added burst of flavor.
- Fill the Bread Bowl: Spoon the creamy seafood mixture into the hollowed bread bowl. Ensure it’s filled generously to create a hearty serving.
- Bake! Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the filled bread bowl on a baking sheet and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Notes
- Use Fresh Seafood: Fresh seafood will enhance the flavor and texture of your dish.
- Don’t Overmix: Gently fold the filling to avoid breaking up the seafood too much.
- Let It Rest: After baking, let the bread bowl sit for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve Warm: This dish is best enjoyed warm, providing the ultimate comfort food experience.
- Pair with Bread Chunks: Use the leftover bread chunks for dipping into the creamy filling; it’s a delightful way to enjoy every bite!
