Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 cup cooked shrimp
Cheese:
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Base Ingredients:
- 1 loaf of garlic bread
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) butter
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium heat to create a perfectly golden surface for grilling.
- Generously spread softened butter on the exterior sides of two garlic bread slices for a crispy, rich exterior.
- Position the first slice butter-side down in the preheated skillet, creating a foundation for the sandwich.
- Layer succulent shrimp across the bread, ensuring even distribution for balanced flavor.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously over the shrimp, allowing it to create a creamy, melting base.
- Dust Parmesan cheese on top for an extra sharp and nutty dimension.
- Crown the sandwich with the second garlic bread slice, butter-side facing upward.
- Grill for 3-4 minutes until the bottom turns a deep golden brown, developing a crisp texture.
- Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula, cooking the opposite side until equally golden and the cheese thoroughly melts.
- Transfer the grilled sandwich to a cutting board, slice diagonally, and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
- Opt for large, fresh shrimp to ensure maximum flavor and tender texture in your grilled cheese.
- Choose high-quality mozzarella and Parmesan cheese for a rich, creamy melting experience.
- Toast the bread slowly to achieve a perfectly golden-brown crust without burning the garlic bread.
- Consider adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for an extra kick of heat and complexity.
