Gather these ingredients to make your Cheesy Garlic Bread Shrimp Grilled Cheese:

  • 4 slices of thick-cut bread (like sourdough or Texas toast)
  • 6 oz medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Shrimp

  1. Season the Shrimp: In a small bowl, toss the shrimp with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Cook the Shrimp: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Prepare the Garlic Butter

  1. Mix the Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, and chopped parsley. Stir until well blended.

Assemble the Sandwiches

  1. Spread the Garlic Butter: Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
  2. Layer the Ingredients: On the unbuttered side of two slices, layer shredded mozzarella, cooked shrimp, and shredded cheddar. Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing out.

Cook the Sandwiches

  1. Toast the Sandwiches: Heat a clean skillet over medium-low heat. Place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is fully melted.

Serve Hot:

  1. Cut and Enjoy: Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve immediately while the cheese is gooey and warm.
