2 Tbsp of Chives
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan

Method

Prep

In a medium-size bowl season the shrimp with salt, pepper, and onion powder. Then sit aside. Cut french bread into slices and set aside on a sheet pan

Cook

Preheat 350 Add two cloves of finely chopped garlic and butter to a small saucepan. Cook until the garlic is slightly toasted and fragrant. Brush melted garlic butter on tops/bottoms. Place back on the sheet pan and set aside. Place butter and avocado oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Allow butter and oil to heat. Then place shrimp inside and saute. After one minute add lemon zest, scallions, red pepper flakes, and garlic. Cook until the garlic is fragrant about 1-2 minutes. Add wine and lemon juice. Reduce the liquid for 5 minutes. Then place in a bowl to cool down. About 10 minutes. In a second large bowl add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, chives, parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, cooled cooked shrimp mixture, and parsley. Mix well. In a buttered baking dish of your choice place the dip mix inside. Spread the dip evenly and then put some more parmesan cheese and mozzarella on top. Put dip and french bread into the oven for 10-12 minutes or until bubbly.

Note

Check the french bread after 10 minutes to prevent burning.
