Ingredients
→ Main Ingredients
1 large crusty bread bowl (sourdough or artisan round)
1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup crab meat
1/2 cup scallops
→ Sauce Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 shallot, finely chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
Steps

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Cut the top off the bread bowl and hollow out the center. Toast the hollowed bread in the oven for 8–10 minutes.

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté garlic and shallots until fragrant.

Add shrimp and scallops, cook until just opaque. Stir in crab meat and heat through.

Lower heat and pour in heavy cream. Add cream cheese, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.

Stir in half of the Parmesan and mozzarella cheese.

Spoon the seafood mixture into the toasted bread bowl. Top with remaining cheese.

Bake the filled bread bowl for 12–15 minutes until bubbly and golden.

Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

Tips
If using frozen seafood, thaw and drain well before cooking to avoid excess moisture.
For a spicier twist, add cayenne or red pepper flakes.
The filling can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge until ready to bake.
