Ingredients
  

For the filling
  • 450 g fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined Make sure the shrimp are fresh for the best taste.
  • 225 g cream cheese, softened
  • 60 g mozzarella cheese, shredded You can use different types of cheese for new flavors.
  • 15 g fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced Don’t skip the garlic; it adds wonderful flavor.
For the bread
  • 1 loaf crusty Italian bread You can substitute with any crusty bread, such as French bread or baguette.
  • 60 ml unsalted butter, melted

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Chop the shrimp into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, chopped parsley, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
  3. Slice the Italian bread loaf in half lengthwise and carefully hollow out the center of each half, leaving enough bread around the edges to support the filling.
Cooking
  1. Distribute the seafood mixture evenly between the hollowed bread halves, gently pressing the filling into each cavity.
  2. Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Brush the outside of each bread half with melted butter.
  3. Wrap the bread tightly in aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes on a baking tray.
  4. After 15 minutes, remove the foil and return the bread halves to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crisp.
Serving
  1. Allow the bread to cool for a few minutes, slice into portions, and serve warm.
