Ingredients
For the Bread Bowls:
- 4 large round bread rolls
For the Seafood Filling:
- 1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
- 1 cup cooked crab meat, shredded
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Bread
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Hollow Out the Rolls: Cut off the tops of the bread rolls and gently hollow out the centers, leaving about 1/2 inch of bread around the edges to create sturdy bowls. Set aside the removed bread for another use (e.g., breadcrumbs).
Step 2: Make the Filling
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, and mayonnaise. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Add Seasonings: Mix in minced garlic, lemon juice, and black pepper for a burst of flavor.
- Incorporate Seafood and Herbs: Gently fold in the chopped shrimp, shredded crab meat, and fresh parsley. Ensure the mixture is evenly combined.
Step 3: Fill the Bread Bowls
- Spoon the Filling: Generously pack the seafood mixture into each hollowed-out bread roll, slightly mounding the top for an appealing presentation.
Step 4: Bake
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the filled bread bowls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the filling is bubbly.
Step 5: Serve
- Garnish: Sprinkle additional fresh parsley on top of each bread bowl for a pop of color.
- Enjoy Warm: Serve immediately while the bread is warm and the filling is creamy.
