Stuffed Seafood Bread Bowls – A Savory, Deliciously Stuffed Seafood Feast!

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut a circle in the top of each bread bowl and carefully hollow out the inside, leaving about 1 inch of bread on the sides. Set aside the bread pieces for later use (they can be used for dipping).
Cook the Seafood Filling:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, celery, and bell pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Add the shrimp, crab, and flaked fish (if using) to the skillet. Stir occasionally and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp turns pink and opaque.
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Add the lemon juice, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, until the mixture thickens slightly.
Assemble the Bread Bowls:

Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.
Carefully spoon the seafood mixture into each hollowed-out bread bowl, packing it in gently to fill all the space.
Bake the Stuffed Bread Bowls:

Place the stuffed bread bowls on a baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the filling is bubbling hot.
Serve and Garnish:

Remove the bread bowls from the oven and let them cool for a minute before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor.
