Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 loaf crusty Italian bread

  • 1 pound fresh shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped

  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened

  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • ¼ cup butter, melted

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Instructions

  • In a bowl, mix together chopped shrimp, cream cheese, mozzarella, parsley, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) until well combined.

  • Slice the bread loaf in half lengthwise. Hollow out the center of each half, leaving a sturdy shell.

  • Spoon the shrimp-cheese mixture evenly into the hollowed bread, pressing down to pack it in firmly.

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the bread’s outer crust with melted butter.

  • Wrap each stuffed bread half in foil and bake for 15 minutes. Unwrap and bake an additional 5 minutes for a crispy, golden crust.

  • Cool slightly, slice, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Add lump crab meat to the filling for extra seafood richness.

  • A squeeze of lemon juice before serving brightens the flavor.

  • Serve with a side of marinara or aioli for dipping.
