  1. Cook the Shrimp: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until pink and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if necessary. Sauté the onion and garlic over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant. Add the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat.
  3. Make the Creamy Base: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the Cheese: Stir in the shredded mozzarella, Parmesan, and Romano cheese until well combined. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  5. Combine Everything: Add the cooked shrimp, crab meat, and sautéed spinach mixture into the cheesy base. Stir until well combined.
  6. Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the mixture to a baking dish (a 9-inch pie dish or a similar-sized casserole dish works well). Spread it out evenly.
  7. Top with More Cheese (Optional): If desired, sprinkle some additional mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top for an extra cheesy crust.
  8. Bake the Dip: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
  9. Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve with crispy tortilla chips, crostini, or crackers.
  • You can also pair it with sliced vegetables like cucumber or bell peppers for a lighter option.

This dip is guaranteed to be a hit with its rich, cheesy, and seafood-filled flavors! Enjoy!
