Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  3. In a mixing bowl, combine cooked shrimp, seafood blend, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Hollow out the bread bowl, leaving a thick border.
  5. Fill the bread bowl with the seafood mixture.
  6. Place the filled bread bowl on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until heated through and the top is golden.
Serving
  1. Cut the bread bowl into wedges and serve on a platter.
  2. Offer extra lemon wedges and a simple green salad.
Storage

  2. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warm. Do not leave seafood out at room temp for more than 2 hours.

Notes

Keep the bread border thick to hold the filling. It's recommended to drain any extra liquid from the seafood blend before mixing. Taste and adjust seasoning carefully.
