How to Make Cheesy Garlic Bread Shrimp Grilled Cheese
Step 1: Prepare the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until fully combined, and set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Shrimp
Heat a small amount of olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and chop them into bite-sized pieces.
Step 3: Assemble the Sandwich
Spread the garlic butter generously on one side of each bread slice. Lay the slices butter-side-down on a cutting board. On two of the bread slices, add a layer of shredded cheddar cheese, followed by a layer of chopped shrimp, and finish with shredded mozzarella cheese. Top each with the remaining bread slices, butter-side-up.
Step 4: Grill the Sandwiches
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted and gooey. You may need to press down lightly with a spatula to help the cheese melt evenly.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Once the sandwiches are golden brown and the cheese is beautifully melted, remove them from the skillet. Slice in half, and enjoy the deliciousness of Cheesy Garlic Bread Shrimp Grilled Cheese!
