Heat the butter in a pan over medium heat and add the shrimp and cook until it just turns pink.

Add the garlic and red pepper flakes, cook until fragrant, about a minute.

Add the wine and lemon juice and simmer to reduce by half.

Mix the shrimp, pan sauce, cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, parsley, mozzarella and parmesan and pour it into a 2+ cup baking pan.

Bake in a preheated 350F oven until golden brown on top and bubbling on the sides, about 15-20 minutes.
