Ingredients

• 8 oz cream cheese
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup cooked and peeled shrimp
• 1 cup lump crab meat
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp hot sauce (optional)
• 2 tbsp chopped green onions
• 0.5 tsp paprika
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 package baguette slices or crackers

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Remove from heat.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Stir in the sautéed garlic, half of the Parmesan cheese, and half of the mozzarella cheese.

Step 5

Add the lump crab meat and chopped shrimp to the mixture, stirring gently to avoid breaking up the seafood too much.

Step 6

Season the mixture with lemon juice, hot sauce (if using), paprika, salt, and black pepper. Fold in the chopped green onions.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture to a greased 8x8-inch baking dish or a similarly sized oven-safe dish.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the top is lightly golden.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the dip to cool slightly for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Garnish with additional chopped green onions and a sprinkle of paprika, if desired.

Step 12

Serve warm with baguette slices, crackers, or your favorite dippers.
