Steps
Chop your shrimp into small, bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, mix the chopped shrimp with softened cream cheese, mozzarella, fresh parsley, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything’s beautifully combined!
Slice that crusty Italian bread in half lengthwise, then carefully hollow out the center of each half. You want to leave enough of a shell to hold all that delicious filling without breaking through!
Spoon the shrimp mixture evenly into both bread halves, packing it down gently but firmly. You want every single bite to be loaded with that creamy, garlicky goodness!
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Brush the outside of the bread with melted butter – this gives you that gorgeous golden crust. Wrap each half in foil and bake for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for another 5 minutes to get that crust nice and crispy. You want it golden and crunchy on the outside while staying creamy and melty inside.
Let it cool for just a few minutes (trust me, the filling will be molten hot!), then slice into portions and serve while it’s still warm. Get ready for some seriously happy faces!
