Cheesy Garlic Shrimp Bread Bowl: A Cozy, Comforting Delight

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the top off the bread boule and hollow out the center to create a bowl. Reserve the removed bread for dipping if desired.

Cook the Shrimp:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season shrimp with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Sear for 1-2 minutes on each side until pink and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Make the Garlic Cheese Sauce:
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Gradually whisk in Parmesan and mozzarella cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble the Bread Bowl:
Place the bread bowl on a baking sheet. Pour the cheese sauce into the bread bowl, then top with the cooked shrimp.

Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the bread are golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Garnish and Serve:
Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately. Use the bread you scooped out for dipping. Enjoy!
