Soft, buttery bread stuffed with a creamy, cheesy blend of crab, shrimp, garlic, and Old Bay seasoning. These golden garlic bread bombs are the ultimate bite-sized seafood appetizer—crispy on the outside, rich and savory inside.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 8 bread bombs

Ingredients

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated pizza dough

1/2 cup cooked shrimp, chopped

1/2 cup crab meat, shredded

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp cream cheese, softened

2 tbsp mayonnaise

1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

1 tsp Old Bay seasoning

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tbsp butter, melted

1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix chopped shrimp, crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, parsley, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper until creamy and well combined.
  3. Roll out pizza dough on a lightly floured surface and cut into 8 equal squares.
  4. Place a spoonful of seafood filling and mozzarella cheese in the center of each square.
  5. Fold the corners up and pinch the seams tightly to form a ball, sealing the filling inside.
  6. Arrange dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder.
  8. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
  9. Let cool slightly, then serve warm with marinara sauce or your favorite dip.

Notes

Mix in cheddar or Parmesan for a cheesier flavor.

Add cayenne or hot sauce for a spicy twist.

Use canned tuna or salmon as a substitute for crab or shrimp.

Make bite-sized minis for parties by cutting smaller dough pieces.

Store in fridge up to 2 days; reheat in oven at 350°F for 5–7 minutes.

Freeze and reheat straight from frozen for 10–12 minutes until hot.

Air fry at 350°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway for golden crispness.
