Description

This Ultimate Shrimp Grilled Cheese with Garlic Bread is an irresistible twist on classic comfort food. Succulent shrimp sautéed with garlic are paired with a gooey blend of mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, all sandwiched between slices of buttery, garlic-infused bread. Grill it to golden perfection for a savory delight that’s both crispy and cheesy. Ideal for any occasion, this dish offers a heavenly combination of flavors and textures.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices of thick bread (sourdough or your choice)
  • 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 tbsp butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Season shrimp with salt and pepper.
  2. Sauté shrimp with minced garlic in butter until pink and cooked through (about 3-4 minutes). Set aside.
  3. Brush each slice of bread with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic.
  4. Layer mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on two slices of bread.
  5. Add sautéed shrimp on top of the cheese.
  6. Close the sandwich with the remaining bread slices.
  7. In the same pan, grill the sandwiches on medium heat, pressing down gently until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute olive oil for butter. Try using different cheeses like cheddar or gouda for variation. You can prepare the shrimp ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Be sure the pan is not too hot, or the bread may burn before the cheese melts. If the bread is too thick, it may not heat through adequately. Store leftover sandwiches in the fridge and reheat in a toaster oven to retain crispness.
