Cheesy Shrimp & Crab Bake Dip

This dreamy dip is a seafood lover’s fantasy—a silky, garlicky, scampi-inspired blend of tender shrimp and sweet lump crab, all smothered in gooey cheese and baked to bubbly perfection. Imagine diving into warm, fragrant garlic butter, zesty lemon, and melted mozzarella—the kind of appetizer that steals the show at any gathering, from casual game nights to elegant dinner parties. It’s luxurious yet homey, indulgent yet approachable, and guaranteed to get everyone scraping the dish for “just one more bite.”

Ingredients:
1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
1 cup lump crab meat, drained
8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup sour cream
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 green onions or chives, chopped
1 tsp Old Bay seasoning or Cajun seasoning
Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional: ½ tsp hot sauce
Toasted baguette slices or crackers for serving

How to Make It:
1️ Mix the Base:
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, minced garlic, Old Bay seasoning, salt, pepper, and hot sauce if you want extra heat. Stir until smooth and fully blended.

2️ Add Seafood and Cheese:
Fold in the chopped shrimp, crab meat, half of the mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, and half of the chopped green onions. Mix gently to keep the crab pieces intact.

3️ Bake the Dip:
Spread the mixture evenly into a small oven-safe dish. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella on top. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until hot and bubbly with lightly golden edges.

4️ Optional Broil:
For a deeper golden top, broil the dip for 1–2 minutes, keeping a close eye on it.

5️ Finish and Serve:
Remove from the oven and top with the remaining green onions. Serve warm with toasted baguette slices or your favorite crackers.

Vanilla Bean Crème Brûlée Cheesecake Cupcakes

Ingredients

- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons vanilla bean paste
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Additional sugar for caramelizing on top

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a cupcake pan with paper liners for easy removal.

In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press about a tablespoon of the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of each cupcake liner to form the crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, then remove and let cool.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, blending until fully incorporated.
Pour in the heavy cream, vanilla bean paste, and salt, and whisk until everything is well combined and silky.

Fill each cupcake liner about ¾ full with the cheesecake batter, over the crust.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the centers are slightly set but still jiggly. They will firm up as they cool.

Allow the cupcakes to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Just before serving, sprinkle a thin layer of granulated sugar evenly over the tops of the cupcakes. Using a kitchen torch, caramelize the sugar until it's golden and bubbly. Allow the crème brûlée topping to cool for a minute before serving.

Enjoy!
