- 1 10 oz package frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- 1/2 cup cream cheese softened

- Add the drained spinach, shrimp, and crab meat to the bowl. Stir to combine.
- Fold in the Mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the mixture to a baking dish (9x9 or similar size) and smooth the top.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and golden brown on top.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with crackers, chips, or bread for dipping.
Notes
- Make Ahead: You can prepare this dip a day ahead of time. Just refrigerate it before baking, then bake as directed.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the mixture.
- If using frozen spinach, make sure to squeeze out all the excess water so the dip isn’t watery.
- If you don’t have crab, you can use extra shrimp or substitute with scallops for another seafood twist.
