Cheesy Shrimp Crab Bake Dip

Ingredients

→ Main 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 seasoning

 Salt and black pepper, to taste

 ½ tsp hot sauce (optional)

 Sliced toasted baguette or crackers for serving

Steps

Combine cream cheese, sour cream, garlic, Old Bay seasoning, salt, pepper, and hot sauce (if using) in a bowl. Whip until smooth to create a creamy base.

Gently fold in shrimp, crab, half the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and half the chives to maintain texture.

Spread the mixture into an oven-safe dish and top with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake at 190°C (375°F) for 20–25 minutes until hot, bubbly, and golden brown.

Optionally, broil for 1–2 minutes to achieve a golden crust.

Sprinkle the dip with fresh chives or green onions. Serve with toasted baguette slices, crackers, or tortilla chips.

Tips

  1. Broiling creates a golden brown crust for extra texture.
  2. Use softened cream cheese for a smoother base.
