Ingredients
3 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
225 grams peeled and deveined Gulf shrimp, roughly chopped
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
1/2 teaspoon old bay seasoning
1/4 cup good white wine
Juice and zest from a lemon
170 grams whipped cream cheese (room temperature)
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion
5 tablespoons grated parmesan, divided
Salt and pepper
Directions
Add the butter and garlic to a large pan on medium-high heat.
When the butter is just starting to brown and the garlic becomes golden, add the shrimp, chili flakes and old bay.
Sauté for a minute, moving the shrimp around, until pink but still translucent. Add the wine and lemon, and reduce until the shrimp are just cooked. Remove from the heat.
Place shrimp in a medium bowl and stir in cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, egg, parsley, onion and four tablespoons parmesan. Season to taste.
Spread mixture into a sizable baking dish; sprinkle with remaining parmesan.
Place into a 350F oven and bake until golden, about ten minutes. Serve with warm bread or crackers.
