• In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon chopped garlic over medium heat. Use a brush to coat the top and inside of the bread with the butter and garlic mixture. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese over bread and broil until toasted, about 3-5 minutes. Set aside.
• In a large skillet, melt remaining 6 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Stir in remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Add a pinch of chili flakes and white wine and bring to a boil. Stir in shrimp and cream cheese and cook until cream cheese is melted and shrimp is cooked through, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and pour into the bread.

SHRIMP SCAMPI UPSIDE-DOWN GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Add the garlic cloves to a food processor and pulse to finely chop. Add the parsley and pulse a few times to coarsely chop. Add the butter, Parmesan, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, if using, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt to the food processor and pulse to completely combine all ingredients, scraping down the sides of the bowl halfway through, about 1 minute. Sprinkle the shrimp on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Spread about half of the butter mixture in an even layer on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch rimmed quarter baking sheet using an offset spatula or spoon. Arrange the shrimp on top in a single layer and top with the remaining butter.
• Unroll the pizza dough from the can and flatten into an even layer. Sprinkle the exposed side of the dough all over with 3 tablespoons sesame seeds, making sure to get the edges. Press gently to adhere the seeds to the dough. Flip the dough over so the sesame seeds are facing down, and sprinkle the top with the remaining 3 tablespoons sesame seeds; press to adhere.
• Top the shrimp with the dough and gently stretch it so it hangs over the sides by about 1/2 inch. Gently tuck the sides into the pan to completely encase the shrimp.
• Bake the shrimp until golden brown and the butter is bubbling around the sides, about 18 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes. Invert onto a square platter or cutting board, then drizzle with the lemon juice and top with more Parmesan before serving.

SHRIMP BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• With a bread knife, slice the loaf of bread lenghtwise and scoop out the soft part leaving the shell intact.
• Take the onions, celery, bell pepper and garlic and chop finely.
• Melt the butter in a heavy bottom pot and add the chopped veggies and saute on high heat till soft.
• Add garlic and cook for three minutes more.
• Lower heat and add basil, salt and pepper, shrimp and green onions.
• You are only heating the shrimp up so do not leave it on for long.
• Finally, when the shrimp mix is warm, add the soft bread to the pot and stir, mixing completely.
• Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
• (I usually add some type of cajun or creole seasoning to the mixture to spice it up!) When the mixture is well blended, spoon it back into the bread shells, which are already lying on a large sheet of aluminum foil.
• Fill both sides of the shells evenly and then gently place them back together and wrap in the foil.
• Place the wrapped loaf in a 350 degree oven and bake for 30 minutes.
• This recipe can be used with a large loaf of bread or the smaller french bread loaves.
