Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ cup fresh minced onion
- 1 small red bell pepper chopped
- 1 pound small-medium shrimp chopped into 1/2" pieces
- 2 garlic cloves minced (1 teaspoon)
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella divided
- 1/2 cup freshly shredded Parmesan
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions plus more for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt olive oil. Add onion and bell pepper and cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt.
- Push onions and peppers to the side and add shrimp and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until shrimp is pink and garlic is fragrant; 1-2 minutes. Mix with the onions and peppers during the last 30 seconds.
- Stir in cajun seasoning, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce and heat to a simmer.
- Remove pan from heat and stir in cream cheese, 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, Parmesan, and green onions.
- Stir until all cheese is melted and all ingredients are evenly distributed. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden and bubbly. If you want a more golden top, add a few minutes under the broiler.
- Garnish with remaining green onions and serve with crackers or toasted bread.
