Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 loaf baguette or crackers for serving

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the chopped shrimp to the skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and just cooked through. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Fold the cooked shrimp and garlic mixture into the cheese mixture. Also, add 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley and stir until evenly incorporated.

Step 6

Transfer the dip mixture to a greased 1-quart baking dish or cast-iron skillet. Smooth out the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake the dip in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until it is bubbly and golden on top.

Step 8

Remove the dip from the oven and sprinkle it with the remaining 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley for garnish.

Step 9

Serve warm with slices of baguette, crackers, or your favorite dipping bread.
