Crabby Shrimp-Stuffed Garlic Bread Bombs

Delicious garlic bread filled with cheesy shrimp goodness, perfect for game nights or family dinners.

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf Crusty Italian bread
  • 1 pound Fresh shrimp

    peeled and deveined

  • 1 cup Cream cheese

    softened

  • 1/2 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup Fresh parsley

    chopped

  • 4 cloves Garlic

    minced

  • 1/4 cup Butter

    melted

  • Salt and pepper
    to taste
  • Red pepper flakes

    optional

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

  2. 2

    Using a sharp serrated knife, slice your Italian bread loaf into 2-inch thick rounds. Carefully hollow out the center of each round, leaving just enough bread to form a sturdy shell.

  3. 3

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt half of the butter. Add the shrimp, season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like it spicy. Cook for 2-3 minutes until just pink and opaque. Remove from heat, roughly chop the shrimp, and let them cool slightly.

  4. 4

    In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, chopped parsley, minced garlic, and the chopped shrimp. Stir well until everything is evenly combined and creamy.

  5. 5

    Gently stuff each hollowed bread round with the shrimp-cheese mixture, pressing down to pack generously. Arrange the stuffed rounds, open side up, on the prepared baking sheet.

  6. 6

    Drizzle the remaining melted butter over the tops and sides of each bread bomb. Sprinkle with a little extra mozzarella if desired.

  7. 7

    Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the filling is bubbly and lightly browned.

  8. 8

    Cool for a few minutes before serving—they’ll be hot and irresistible!
