Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Add the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped shrimp, and crab meat to the bowl. Stir to evenly distribute.
Mix in the Old Bay seasoning, green onions, lemon juice, hot sauce (if using), salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the dip is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let the dip cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for garnish and serve warm with bread or crackers.
