Stuffed Seafood Bread Bowls

Ingredients:
• 4 small sourdough bread bowls
• 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined 🍤
• 1/2 lb crab meat (fresh or canned) 🦀
• 1/2 cup scallops, diced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter 🧈
• 3 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated 🧀
• 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped 🌿
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Lemon wedges for serving 🍋
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Hollow out the center of each sourdough bread bowl, leaving a thick enough shell to hold the filling. Set aside the removed bread pieces for dipping or discard.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp, crab meat, and scallops. Season with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the seafood is just cooked through. Remove and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
5. Gradually add Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese, stirring until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
6. Return the cooked seafood to the skillet, stirring to coat it in the sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
7. Spoon the seafood mixture evenly into the bread bowls. Place the filled bread bowls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden and bubbling.
9. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
