Ingredients
1 loaf crusty Italian bread
60 ml unsalted butter, melted
450 g fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
225 g cream cheese, softened
60 g mozzarella cheese, shredded
15 g fresh parsley, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Red pepper flakes, as desired
Instructions
Finely chop the shrimp into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, combine shrimp, cream cheese, mozzarella, parsley, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix until well combined.
Slice the Italian bread loaf in half lengthwise and hollow out some of the center to create space for the filling.
Evenly divide and press the shrimp mixture into both halves of the bread.
Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F).
Brush the outside of the bread with melted butter.
Wrap each half tightly in aluminum foil and place on a baking tray.
Bake for 15 minutes.
Remove foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the crust is golden and crispy.
Let cool slightly, slice into portions, and serve warm.
Notes
Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor, but thawed frozen shrimp works well too.
Add a squeeze of lemon juice for extra brightness.
Adjust red pepper flakes for desired spice level.
Serve immediately for the best texture and taste.
