Description

A bubbling hot party dip loaded with tender shrimp, sweet lump crab, garlicky spinach, and a duo of Parmesan and mozzarella for a creamy, cheesy finish. Trust me, you’re going to love this.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150 g) shrimp, peeled, chopped
  • 1 cup (150 g) lump or canned crab meat, picked over
  • 2 cups (60 g) spinach, fresh or thawed and well drained
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (120 g) sour cream
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) mayonnaise
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup (100 g) Parmesan cheese, finely grated, plus extra for topping
  • 1 cup (100 g) mozzarella cheese, shredded, plus extra for topping
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 1 to 1.5 quart baking dish.
  2. Warm a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of oil, sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds, then add chopped shrimp and cook until just pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. In a mixing bowl, stir cream cheese until smooth, then mix in sour cream and mayonnaise until creamy.
  4. Fold in Parmesan, mozzarella, spinach, crab, cooked shrimp with garlic, red pepper flakes if using, salt, and black pepper until evenly combined.
  5. Spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
  6. Sprinkle a little extra Parmesan and mozzarella over the surface for browning.
  7. Bake until hot and bubbling at the edges and lightly golden on top, 25 to 30 minutes. Rest 5 minutes before serving with bread, crackers, or fresh veggies.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for effortless mixing.
  • Drain spinach very well to prevent a watery dip.
  • Broil for 1 to 2 minutes at the end for a deeper golden crust.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon just before serving to brighten the flavors.
