Description

These irresistible Shrimp & Crab Garlic Bread Bombs are bursting with creamy crab, juicy shrimp, melted cheese, and garlic butter — all stuffed into toasted French bread. They’re the ultimate seafood appetizer for holidays, dinner parties, or a decadent treat anytime!

Ingredients

Scale

For the Garlic Bread Base:

  • 1 large French baguette (or 6 sub rolls)

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

For the Seafood Filling:

  • 1/2 pound lump crab meat (drained and picked through)

  • 12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 1/3 cup cream cheese, softened

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise

  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 green onion, finely chopped

  • 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Garnish:

  • Extra parsley

  • Lemon wedges

  • Garlic aioli or lemon-butter dip

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bread
    Cut the baguette into 3- to 4-inch pieces. Slice off the top and gently hollow out each piece to create space for the filling.

  2. Make Garlic Butter
    In a small bowl, mix melted butter with minced garlic and parsley. Brush the inside of each bread boat generously with the garlic butter.

  3. Make the Crab Mixture
    In a large bowl, combine crab meat, cream cheese, mayo, mozzarella, Parmesan, green onion, and Old Bay seasoning. Season with salt and pepper and mix until creamy.

  4. Stuff the Bread
    Spoon the crab mixture into the bread cavities. Press a shrimp into the top of each stuffed bread piece. Optional: sprinkle extra cheese on top.

  5. Bake
    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place bread bombs on a baking sheet and bake for 15–18 minutes, until the shrimp is pink and the tops are golden and bubbly.

  6. Serve
    Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm with lemon wedges or a dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Crab Tip: Use fresh lump crab for the best texture. Imitation crab can be used but may alter flavor.

  • Make-Ahead: Prepare and stuff the bread in advance; refrigerate and bake just before serving.

  • Spicy Option: Add a dash of cayenne pepper or diced jalapeño to the filling for heat.

  • Freezing: Freeze before baking. Thaw overnight in fridge and bake as instructed.
