Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by marinating the shrimp. In a large bowl, combine large shrimp with egg white, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and paprika. Toss to coat evenly, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt unsalted butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Gradually whisk in heavy cream, cooking until thickened, around 3-5 minutes. Stir in grated parmesan cheese until smooth.
- In a small bowl, mix melted unsalted butter, minced garlic, and salt to create garlic butter. Set aside for use on the bread.
- Combine all-purpose flour with additional salt, pepper, and paprika in a shallow dish. Dredge marinated shrimp in the flour mixture and shallow fry in a skillet for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Slice the crusty loaf of bread in half lengthwise and lay it on a baking sheet. Brush the cut sides with garlic butter and bake for 5-7 minutes until golden.
- Spread prepared Alfredo sauce evenly across both halves of the toasted bread. Layer with mozzarella, fried shrimp, and crab meat, adding more mozzarella on top.
- Return the assembled bread to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbling, and golden. Keep an eye to avoid over-browning.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley and red pepper flakes. Serve with extra Alfredo sauce on the side.
