Steps:
- Position an oven rack in the top position, and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Beat the cream cheese, mozzarella, sour cream, mayonnaise, Parmesan, 2 tablespoons of the breadcrumbs and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium high until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to add the shrimp.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the shrimp, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the red pepper flakes, and cook, stirring frequently, until the shrimp just start to turn pink, about 2 minutes. Add the wine, bring to a simmer and cook until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 2 minutes (there will be some liquid left in the skillet). Remove the skillet from the heat, and let the shrimp cool completely.
- Meanwhile, mix together the parsley, the remaining 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs and 1 tablespoon melted butter, the lemon zest and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
- Stir the shrimp, pan sauce and cream cheese mixtures together to combine; transfer to a 2-quart flameproof baking dish. (The dip and breadcrumb mixture can be covered and refrigerated overnight separately at this point.) Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the dip, and bake until hot and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes. Switch the oven to broil, and cook until the top is golden brown, 1 to 3 minutes. Let rest for a few minutes, then serve hot with bread and/or crackers.

Tips:
- Choose fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp have a firm texture and a slightly sweet flavor. Avoid shrimp that are mushy or have a strong odor.
- Cook the shrimp properly. Overcooked shrimp are tough and chewy. To avoid this, cook the shrimp until they are just opaque and pink.
- Use a variety of seasonings. Shrimp has a mild flavor, so it can be easily seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices. Some popular seasonings for shrimp include garlic, lemon, dill, and paprika.
- Serve the shrimp spread immediately. Shrimp spread is best served immediately after it is made. This is because the spread will start to lose its flavor and texture as it sits.
Conclusion:
Creamy shrimp spread is a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack. It can be served on crackers, bread, or vegetables. It can also be used as a filling for sandwiches or wraps. With its creamy texture and delicious flavor, creamy shrimp spread is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
