Ingredients

Scale

For the Garlic Butter:

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

For the Shrimp:

  • 8 ounces shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

For the Sandwich:

  • 8 slices of bread (sourdough or French bread works best)
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

1. Prepare the Garlic Butter:

  1. In a small bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, and salt. Set aside.

2. Cook the Shrimp:

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped shrimp, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 3–4 minutes until shrimp are pink and fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. Assemble the Sandwiches:

  1. Spread garlic butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
  2. Place a slice of bread, butter side down, on a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  3. Add a layer of shredded mozzarella, followed by a portion of the cooked shrimp, then a layer of shredded cheddar cheese.
  4. Top with another slice of bread, butter side up.

4. Cook the Sandwiches:

  1. Grill the sandwiches for 3–4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
  2. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

5. Serve:

  1. Slice the sandwiches in half and serve hot. Pair with a side salad, soup, or marinara dipping sauce if desired.

Notes

  • Substitute shrimp with cooked crab or lobster for a seafood twist.
  • Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the shrimp for a spicy kick.
  • You can use pre-cooked shrimp to save time—just sauté them briefly to heat through.
