πŸ›’ Ingredients

  • 1 large round sourdough bread loaf
  • 1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

πŸ‘©β€πŸ³ Instructions

1. Prepare the Bread Bowl

Preheat the oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Slice the top off the sourdough loaf and carefully hollow out the center, leaving about a 1-inch-thick shell. Reserve the bread pieces for serving.

2. Toast the Bread

Brush the inside of the bread bowl with olive oil and place it on a baking sheet. Bake for 8–10 minutes until the inside is lightly crisp and golden.

3. Cook the Shrimp

Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Season the shrimp with paprika, salt, and black pepper, then cook for 2–3 minutes until pink and just cooked through.

4. Make the Creamy Garlic Cheese Sauce

Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream, whole milk, and softened cream cheese until smooth and fully combined. Add the Italian seasoning, grated Parmesan cheese, and half of the shredded mozzarella. Stir until the cheeses melt into a rich, creamy sauce. Fold in the cooked shrimp and chopped parsley.

5. Fill and Bake

Spoon the creamy shrimp mixture into the toasted bread bowl and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with the reserved bread pieces for dipping.
