  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the stuffed bread bowl.

Step 2: Prepare the Bread Bowl

Carefully hollow out the center of a round bread loaf, creating a bowl shape while ensuring the outer crust remains intact.

In a skillet, heat some oil and sauté your choice of seafood (shrimp, crab, or scallops) along with garlic and onions until they are cooked through.

Step 4: Mix the Filling

Combine the sautéed seafood with cream cheese, shredded cheese, and seasonings in a bowl, mixing until well blended.

Step 5: Stuff the Bread Bowl

Fill the hollowed-out bread bowl with the seafood mixture, pressing it down gently to ensure it is packed in.

Step 6: Bake

Place the stuffed bread bowl on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the bread is golden and the filling is bubbling.

Step 7: Serve

Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing into wedges to serve.

Stuffing

Broiling

Broiling is a high-heat cooking method used at the end of baking to give the top of the stuffed bread bowl a golden brown color. It creates a nice crispy texture on the surface.

Garnishing
