Instructions:
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the Cheese Mixture:
- In a large bowl, combine 8 oz softened cream cheese, ½ cup mayonnaise, ½ cup sour cream, 8 oz grated Parmesan cheese, and 8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Stir in 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
- Cook the Shrimp and Spinach:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the 1 pound shrimp until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the container of fresh spinach and cook until wilted. This should take about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Combine Ingredients:
- Fold the cooked shrimp and spinach into the cheese mixture. Add chopped artichoke hearts to the mixture and gently fold everything together until well combined.
- Assemble the Bake:
- Spread a layer of the cheese and shrimp mixture in the bottom of a baking dish. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded provolone cheese evenly over this layer.
- Add another layer of the cheese mixture on top of the provolone, then sprinkle with additional provolone cheese, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon onion powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake the Dish:
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Add Bacon (Optional):
- If using, sprinkle cooked, crumbled bacon on top. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and bake for an additional 30 minutes to ensure everything is heated through and the flavors meld.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
