Creamy Shrimp Scampi Bread Bowl can be an easy appetizer or entree, dipping bread in the rich scampi sauce with succulent shrimp.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 round Italian bread loaf
- 2 tablespoons salted butter, melted (1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt if unsalted)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1/2-1 pound raw shrimp, shelled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons white wine
- 1/2 teaspoon homemade Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Set aside.
- Cut the top off your bread bowl and using your fingers, hollow out the center, leaving high rims around the edges, reserving bread pieces for serving.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, garlic powder and onion powder. Baste the butter mixture over the inside of the bread bowl.
- Toast bread under broiler for 3-4 minutes or until crispy.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Saute the garlic until fragrant and soft.
- Add the shrimp, stirring until pink and starting to curl.
- Add the white wine, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and cream. Stir until heated, approximately 1-2 minutes.
- Add the parmesan cheese, stirring until it becomes thick.
- Ladle into the toasted bread bowl, garnish with parsley, if desired, and serve!

Notes
- You can use whatever type of seafood you prefer, or stick with just shrimp. I like the mix of crab and shrimp. You can also buy or make additional crostini to dip and serve.
