Here’s a mouthwatering recipe for Cheesy Garlic Bread Shrimp Grilled Cheese. This recipe combines the savory flavors of cheesy garlic bread with juicy shrimp in a melty, grilled cheese sandwich!

Ingredients:

For the Garlic Butter:

4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

1/2 tsp dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Shrimp:

1/2 lb large shrimp, peeled, deveined, and roughly chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tbsp olive oil

For the Sandwich:

4 slices of thick bread (sourdough or Italian bread works well)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Make the Garlic Butter:

In a small bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper, mixing until smooth and well blended.

2. Cook the Shrimp:

Season the shrimp with salt and pepper.

Warm olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes, until pink and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. Assemble the Sandwich:

Spread a thick layer of garlic butter on one side of each bread slice.

Place two of the slices, buttered side down, in the skillet over medium heat.

Sprinkle a mix of mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses on each slice in the skillet.

Add an even layer of cooked shrimp over the cheese, and sprinkle a bit more cheese on top of the shrimp.

Place the other slices of bread on top, buttered side facing up.

4. Grill the Sandwich:

Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden and crispy and the cheese is fully melted. Press down gently with a spatula to help the cheese stick everything together.

5. Serve:

Take it out of the skillet, allow it to cool for a minute, and then cut it in half. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley, if desired.
