Description

These Crabby Shrimp-Stuffed Garlic Bread Bombs combine succulent shrimp and crab meat in a creamy, flavorful filling stuffed inside a soft, garlicky bread loaf. Baked until golden and bubbly, this appetizer is perfect for impressing guests or enjoying a decadent seafood twist on traditional garlic bread.

Ingredients

For the Stuffed Garlic Bread Bombs

  • 1 loaf of garlic bread
  • 1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
  • 1 cup crab meat
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for baking the garlic bread bombs.
  2. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped cooked shrimp, crab meat, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, chopped green onions, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a creamy, well-seasoned seafood filling.
  3. Hollow Out the Bread: Slice the garlic bread loaf in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out some of the bread from the center of each half to create a hollow cavity for the filling without breaking the crust.
  4. Fill the Bread: Spread the crab and shrimp mixture evenly inside the hollowed-out halves of the garlic bread, making sure to fill all the way to the edges for maximum flavor.
  5. Bake: Place the stuffed garlic bread halves on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the filling is heated through and bubbly.
  6. Serve: Remove the garlic bread bombs from the oven, allow to cool slightly so they can be handled safely, then slice into portions and serve warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh crab meat with canned crab if fresh is unavailable, but ensure it is drained well.
  • For extra cheesy flavor, sprinkle shredded mozzarella or parmesan on top before baking.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the filling.
  • These garlic bread bombs are best enjoyed warm but can be reheated in the oven to preserve the crispy crust.
  • Leftover filling can be used as a dip or spread on crackers.
