Ingredients:

1 large sourdough bread bowl
1/2 pound (225g) cooked shrimp, chopped
1/2 pound (225g) lump crab meat
1 cup (100g) shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup (115g) cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup (75g) mayonnaise
1/4 cup (25g) green onions, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions:

Prepare the Bread Bowl:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Carefully hollow out the center of the sourdough bread bowl, leaving a sturdy shell. Reserve the removed bread pieces for serving.
Make the Seafood Filling:

In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and shredded mozzarella until smooth.
Stir in the chopped green onions, minced garlic, Old Bay seasoning, smoked paprika, and lemon juice.
Gently fold in the chopped shrimp and lump crab meat, ensuring the seafood is evenly distributed.
Assemble the Bread Bowl:

Spoon the seafood mixture into the hollowed-out bread bowl, pressing it down slightly to pack the filling.
Place the filled bread bowl on a baking sheet.
Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Serve:

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Garnish with additional chopped green onions if desired.
Serve warm, accompanied by the reserved bread pieces or crackers for dipping.
