Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a medium-sized casserole dish.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the diced bacon until crispy. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels, leaving about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the chopped shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes, or until just pink. Set aside and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, and horseradish. Mix until smooth.
Fold in the cooked shrimp, half of the crispy bacon, 75 grams of cheddar cheese, 75 grams of mozzarella cheese, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until fully combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheeses on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly with golden edges.
Remove from the oven and top with the reserved crispy bacon and additional parsley for garnish.
Serve hot with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or tortilla chips.
