Ingredients
8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (plus extra for topping)
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
½ tsp lemon juice
½ cup cooked small shrimp, chopped
½ cup lump crab meat
½ cup cooked lobster meat, chopped (optional)
2 tbsp finely chopped green onion
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven: Set to 375°F. Lightly grease a small baking dish.
Mix the base: In a large bowl, blend cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic, Old Bay, Worcestershire, lemon juice, and half of each cheese until smooth.
Add seafood: Fold in crab, shrimp, lobster (if using), and green onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Bake: Spread mixture into the baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheeses on top. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until hot and bubbly with golden edges.
Serve: Garnish with extra green onion or parsley. Serve warm with toasted baguette slices, buttery crackers, or pita chips.
Pro Tips
For a milder flavor, skip the lobster and just use crab and shrimp.
Add a pinch of cayenne or hot sauce for a subtle heat.
Try serving it in a hollowed bread bowl for a festive presentation.
It reheats beautifully. Just cover with foil and bake at 325°F until warmed through.
Elegant, creamy, and irresistibly coastal—this seafood dip turns any appetizer table into something truly special. ✨
