Ingredients
• 2.5 cups chopped spinach
• ½ lb medium shrimp, peeled & deveined
• 8 oz crab meat
• ¼ cup cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup sour cream
• 1 tbsp mayo
• 1 tbsp chopped green onion
• ½ tsp Old Bay seasoning
• ¼ tsp lemon pepper seasoning
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Muenster cheese (divided)
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• ⅓ cup diced onion
• 1 tsp garlic paste or minced garlic
• 1 tsp cooking oil
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a skillet, sauté diced onion and garlic in oil over medium heat until soft.
3. Add shrimp and cook until opaque; remove, chop, and set aside.
4. Add spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted. Fold in crab meat.
5. In a bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, mayo, seasonings, green onion, mozzarella, and half the Muenster.
6. Stir in the shrimp-spinach-crab mixture until evenly combined.
7. Transfer to a greased baking dish. Top with remaining Muenster cheese.
8. Bake for 15–20 minutes until bubbly. Broil 2–3 minutes for a golden top.
9. Serve hot with crusty bread, chips, or veggie dippers.
Notes
– Use canned crab if needed — just drain it well.
– Frozen spinach works too, as long as it’s thawed and squeezed dry.
– Monterey Jack or Fontina are great substitutes for Muenster.
– Reheat gently at 300°F for 15 minutes or microwave in intervals.
– Not suitable for freezing due to cream cheese base.
