Cheesy Shrimp & Crab Bake Dip 
A melty, crowd-pleasing dip that’ll vanish in minutes!
Ingredients:
1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
1 cup lump crab meat (drained)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup sour cream
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 green onions or chives, chopped
1 tsp Old Bay seasoning (or Cajun)
Salt & black pepper, to taste
Optional: ½ tsp hot sauce for a kick
Sliced toasted baguette or crackers (for serving)
How to Make It:
Mix the Creamy Base:
In a bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, garlic, Old Bay, salt, pepper, and hot sauce if using. Whip until smooth. This is your flavor-packed cheesy foundation — serious comfort food energy.
Fold in Seafood & Cheese:
Add shrimp, crab, half the mozzarella, Parmesan, and half the chives. Fold gently to keep the crab chunky. This step delivers epic dip texture and seafood party-in-a-bowl vibes.
Bake It Melty:
Spread mixture into an oven-safe baking dish. Top with the remaining mozzarella. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 mins until hot, bubbly, and golden brown — the definition of a cheesy seafood masterpiece.
Broil for Bonus Gold:
Optional but highly recommended: broil for 1–2 mins for that melty golden crust — next-level appetizer win.
Garnish & Serve:
Sprinkle with fresh chives or green onions. Serve with toasted baguette slices, crackers, or even tortilla chips — this dip is an instant party favorite and a melty appetizer slam dunk.
