Step-by-Step Instructions

  3. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shrimp, crab meat, garlic powder, lemon juice, and fresh herbs. Mix well.
  4. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
  5. Spoon the filling into the hollowed-out loaf, packing it tightly but not overstuffing.
