Ingredients

• 1 piece French bread (baguette or loaf)
• 200 grams Cooked shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 150 grams Cream cheese (softened)
• 60 grams Mayonnaise
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 stalks Green onions (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 100 grams Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Cut the French bread in half lengthwise and place the halves on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shrimp (chopped into small pieces), cream cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, green onions, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the ingredients are well combined.

Step 4

Spread the shrimp mixture evenly across the cut sides of the French bread.

Step 5

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the shrimp mixture.

Step 6

Brush the edges of the bread with the melted butter to achieve a golden, crispy crust while baking.

Step 7

Place the bread in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread are lightly golden.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool for a couple of minutes.

Step 9

Slice the shrimp bread into serving-sized pieces, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm.
