 Ingredients
For the Sandwich:
2 slices sourdough bread (or your favorite crusty bread)
1/2 cup cooked shrimp (peeled, deveined, and lightly seasoned)
1 tablespoon butter (for toasting)
1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella, gouda, or a mix)
1 garlic clove (lightly crushed, for rubbing the bread)
Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Seasoning for Shrimp (optional):
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Salt and black pepper (to taste)
 Instructions
1. Prepare the Shrimp
If the shrimp isn’t cooked, lightly season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Heat a skillet over medium heat, add a small amount of oil, and cook the shrimp for 1-2 minutes per side until opaque and golden. Set aside.
2. Toast the Bread
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread. Rub the non-buttered side lightly with a garlic clove for added flavor.
3. Assemble the Sandwich
Place one slice of bread, butter-side down, on the skillet.
Add a generous layer of shredded cheese.
Top with cooked shrimp and more cheese.
Place the second slice of bread, butter-side up, on top.
4. Grill the Sandwich
Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted. Press the sandwich lightly with a spatula to help the cheese melt.
Flip carefully to avoid losing any filling.
5. Garnish and Serve
Remove from the skillet and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Slice in half and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or a light salad.
 Tips
Use high-quality cheese for better meltability and flavor. A mix of mozzarella and gouda works wonderfully.
For extra richness, add a layer of garlic aioli or a light drizzle of hot sauce inside the sandwich.
Avoid overcooking the shrimp, as it can become rubbery.
