Cheesy Garlic Bread Shrimp Grilled Cheese 🍤🧀

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Stir well until the ingredients are fully mixed. Set aside.
2. Cook the Shrimp:
   • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Season the shrimp with paprika, salt, and pepper.
   • Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Toast the Bread:
   • Spread a generous amount of the garlic butter mixture on one side of each slice of bread.
   • Sprinkle a little grated Parmesan cheese on top of the buttered side of each slice for extra flavor.
4. Assemble the Sandwich:
   • On the non-buttered side of the bread, start layering the cheeses. Place about 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella and cheddar on each slice.
   • Evenly distribute the cooked shrimp on top of the cheese on four slices of bread. Top the shrimp with more cheese (this helps bind the sandwich together).
   • Place the remaining four slices of bread on top, buttered side facing outward.
5. Grill the Sandwiches:
   • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches onto the hot skillet, cooking them in batches if necessary.
   • Grill each side for about 3-4 minutes or until the bread is golden and crispy and the cheese is melted and gooey.
   • You can cover the skillet with a lid during the grilling process to help the cheese melt more evenly.
6. Serve:
   • Once the sandwiches are done, remove them from the skillet and let them cool slightly before slicing in half.
   • Serve immediately with a side of marinara sauce or a fresh salad, if desired.

Tips:

• If you want to add an extra burst of flavor, drizzle a little balsamic glaze or hot sauce over the shrimp before assembling the sandwich.
• Feel free to experiment with different cheeses like Gouda or Monterey Jack for added creaminess.
