• 1  Green Bell Pepper, Stem And Seeds Removed, Then Chopped
• 1-½ pound Large Shrimp, Peeled, Chopped
• 14 ounces, weight Andouille Sausage, Chopped
• 1 clove Garlic, Chopped
• 1-½ teaspoon Creole Seasoning
• 1 package (8 Oz. Size) Cream Cheese
• ½ cups Parmesan Cheese
• 2 Tablespoons Parmesan Cheese

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Using a Dutch oven melt butter over medium heat. Add green onions and peppers. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally or until peppers are tender. Stir in shrimp, sausage, garlic, and Creole seasoning. Cook for 2 minutes continuing to stir all ingredients together. Reduce heat to low, add cream cheese and stir until cheese is melted.

Remove from heat and stir in ½ cup of Parmesan cheese. Spoon mixture into a 2 quart baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Bake at 400°F for 25 to 30 minutes or until bubbly and lightly browned (or if you’re like me, maybe a little toasted brown in certain places). Remove from oven. Sprinkle with parsley and serve warm with French bread for dipping.
