Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 8 ounces cooked lump crab meat
- 8 ounces cooked shrimp, chopped
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon worsteshire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Gently fold in the crab meat and chopped shrimp, being careful not to break them apart too much.
Add the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce (if using), lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to combine.
Transfer the mixture into a medium-sized baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Smooth the top of the dip with the back of a spoon and sprinkle a little additional shredded cheese or paprika on top for garnish, if desired.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbling and golden on top.
Carefully remove the dish from the oven and allow the dip to cool for 5-7 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetable sticks.
