Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice off the top of the bread loaf to create a lid, and hollow out the inside of the loaf.
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shrimp, crab meat, garlic powder, lemon juice, and herbs. Mix until smooth.
Stir in shredded cheddar cheese into the mixture until fully incorporated.
Spoon the filling into the hollowed-out bread loaf, packing it generously.
Place the stuffed bread bowl on a baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
Let cool for a few minutes, slice into wedges, and serve warm.
