Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large bread boule (round loaf)
  • 810 medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Prep the Bread Bowl:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the top off the bread boule and hollow out the center to create a bowl. Reserve the removed bread for dipping if desired.

  • Cook the Shrimp:
    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season shrimp with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Sear for 1-2 minutes on each side until pink and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

  • Make the Garlic Cheese Sauce:
    In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Gradually whisk in Parmesan and mozzarella cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

  • Assemble the Bread Bowl:
    Place the bread bowl on a baking sheet. Pour the cheese sauce into the bread bowl, then top with the cooked shrimp.

  • Bake:
    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the bread are golden and the cheese is bubbly.

  • Garnish and Serve:
    Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately. Use the bread you scooped out for dipping. Enjoy!
