Cheesy Garlic Bread Shrimp Grilled Cheese Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 slices of thick, crusty bread (like sourdough or Italian bread)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley (optional, for flavor)
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
• 1 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking shrimp)
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for added brightness)
• Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Garlic Butter:

   • In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, dried parsley, and dried oregano. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed.

2. Season the Shrimp:

   • Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season them with salt and pepper.
   • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque.
   • Once cooked, remove from heat and squeeze a little lemon juice over the shrimp (optional for extra freshness).

3. Prepare the Bread:

   • Spread a generous amount of the garlic butter mixture on one side of each slice of bread. Make sure to cover the entire surface of the bread with a good layer of garlic butter.

4. Assemble the Grilled Cheese:

   • Place a slice of bread (butter side down) in a skillet over medium heat. Layer the mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses on top of the bread.
   • Add a layer of cooked shrimp on top of the cheese.
   • Place the second slice of bread on top, butter side up.

5. Grill the Sandwich:

   • Cook the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted inside.
   • Press the sandwich gently with a spatula while grilling to help it cook evenly and to get that perfect crisp.

6. Serve:

   • Once both sides are golden and the cheese is melted, remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it sit for a minute before slicing.
   • Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

7. Enjoy!

   • Slice the sandwich into halves or quarters and serve hot. The gooey cheese, garlic butter flavor, and savory shrimp make for a perfect indulgent meal.
