Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Slice the top off the bread and hollow out the center, leaving about an inch of thick walls. Brush inside with olive oil mixed with minced garlic.
  3. In a skillet, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add shrimp, red pepper flakes, and roasted red peppers to the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes until shrimp are pink and opaque.
  5. In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream or mayo, mozzarella, Parmesan, and the shrimp mixture until creamy.
  6. Fill the hollowed-out bread bowl with the shrimp mixture, leveling it off.
  7. Bake the filled bread bowl for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  8. Serve hot, inviting guests to tear off chunks of bread to scoop up the filling.
