Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a small baking dish lightly or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Mix until smooth using a hand mixer or a wooden spoon.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan, cooked and chopped shrimp, and crab meat, being careful not to break up the crab too much.
Mix in the minced garlic, sliced green onions, hot sauce, Old Bay seasoning, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until evenly combined.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly and the edges are slightly golden.
Optional: Turn your broiler on for the last 2 minutes of baking to achieve a perfectly golden top.
Carefully remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve warm with baguette slices, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
