Directions
-

-
Cut the top off the bread bowl and remove some of the inside to make space for the filling. Take your time as you scoop out the bread; you want to create enough room for that tremendous seafood mixture.
-
In a skillet, sauté the garlic in a bit of butter until fragrant. The aromas will fill your kitchen and signal that something special is on the way.

Add the shrimp, crab, and scallops, cooking until just opaque. Remember, overcooking can lead to a rubbery texture; you want to maintain that fresh, sweet taste.
-
Stir in the heavy cream and lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste. This luxurious cream sauce adds tremendous richness, balancing beautifully with the seafood.
