Creamy Shrimp Scampi Dip

Start by melting your butter in a large skillet on medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the garlic and chili flakes. Give that a good stir, and cook for about a minute. Next, add the shrimp. Once the shrimp begin to turn opaque, add the wine and the lemon juice. Cook for about 2 minutes to let some of the wine cook off, then season with salt and pepper. Give a stir, then remove everything from the skillet and place into a bowl.

Into a mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, parsley, Sriracha and mozzarella cheese. Stir to incorporate all of those ingredients.

Preheat your oven to 375 F.

Once the shrimp have slightly cooled, give them a rough chop, and add everything into the cream cheese mixture. Give it another good stir.

Fold this mixture into a baking dish. I used a 6 inch round dish (about 2 inches deep). Then cover the top with the panko breadcrumbs. Use a dish that you can eyeball and fit the entire mixture into.

Onto a baking sheet, add the sliced French bread, and drizzle each slice with olive oil.

Place the cheesy shrimp scampi dip and the French bread into the oven, and cook until the breadcrumbs are nice and golden, and the dip is completely cooked through. Ensure that the bread is nice and golden as well. This should take about 15 minutes.

To serve, scoop the dip into serving bowl and dip your crostini into the dip.
