How to Make Cheesy Garlic Shrimp Bread Bowl (Without Wine)
Preheat the oven
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the bread bowl
Cut a circular opening (6–8 inches wide) in the top of the sourdough loaf, leaving a 1-inch border.
Remove most of the soft bread and reserve it for dipping.
Toast the bread
Brush the inside of the bread bowl and reserved bread pieces with olive oil and rub with garlic.
Bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly toasted.
Cook the shrimp
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add shrimp and cook for 3–5 minutes, until pink and opaque.
Make the creamy garlic cheese sauce
Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream, parsley, Monterey Jack cheese, Parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes.
Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the sauce is smooth and thick.
Fill and bake
Spoon the creamy shrimp mixture into the toasted bread bowl.
Bake for 5–7 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.
Serve
Serve immediately with the toasted bread pieces for dipping.
Pro Tip
For extra flavor without wine, add 1–2 tablespoons of chicken broth or a splash of lemon juice to brighten the sauce.
