Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Hollow out a large sourdough bread bowl, leaving about an inch for stability.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth. Stir in cheese, green onions, garlic, Old Bay seasoning, smoked paprika, and lemon juice.
  3. Gently fold in the chopped shrimp and crab meat until well incorporated. Spoon the filling into the hollowed bread bowl.
  4. Place the filled bowl on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and filling is bubbling hot.
  5. Remove from the oven, let cool for a couple of minutes, garnish with green onions, and serve warm.
