SHRIMP BREAD

Category: Seafood

1 loaf French bread
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
1/2 cup diced onion
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
1/2 cup diced celery
1 tbsp minced garlic
2 cup (70–90 count) shrimp or crawfish, peeled
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Slice French bread in half lengthwise and scoop out the inside of the loaf; set aside. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Saute onion, bell pepper, celery and garlic for 10 minutes. Add shrimp and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes. Blend in dry mustard and mayonnaise. Add cheeses and blend until melted.

Spread shrimp mixture inside the bread then put halves back together. Butter the top of the loaf, wrap in foil and bake on a barbecue pit or in at 350 for 20 to 30 minutes. Cut bread into slices and serve hot. Serves 4
