Ingredients:

  • 8 slices of thick-cut bread (sourdough or Italian works best)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
  • 4 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 1 cup cooked shrimp (peeled, deveined, and chopped)
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Start by preparing the garlic butter. In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with minced garlic and chopped parsley. Set this aside to use later.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Toss in the cooked shrimp, seasoning them with Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are well-coated in the spices and heated through. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
  3. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, and mayonnaise. Mix well until the cheeses are evenly incorporated.
  4. Take each slice of bread and spread the prepared garlic butter generously on one side. On the other side, layer a generous amount of the cheese mixture.
  5. Evenly distribute the cooked shrimp on half of the bread slices, placing them on top of the cheese mixture. Cover each shrimp-filled slice with another slice of bread, buttered side facing outward, to form a sandwich.
  6. Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Place the sandwiches on the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing down gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking. Flip the sandwiches and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted.
  7. Once done, remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for a minute or two before slicing them diagonally for serving.
  8. Serve the Cheesy Garlic Bread Shrimp Grilled Cheese hot, with a side of marinara sauce or a simple salad for a complete meal.

This delectable fusion of cheesy garlic bread and shrimp grilled cheese brings together the best of savory flavors in every bite. Perfectly crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside, this recipe is an irresistible treat for any cheese lover.
