Description
This Cheesy Garlic Bread Shrimp Grilled Cheese recipe is a luxurious take on a classic comfort food that is both easy to prepare and full of flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/4 cup garlic butter
- 4 slices of bread
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by heating a pan over medium-high heat, adding a tablespoon of olive oil to ensure the shrimp doesn’t stick. Once the oil is hot, toss in the 8 large peeled and deveined shrimp. Sauté them for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Don’t forget to season them with a sprinkle of salt and pepper for added flavor. As they cook, the aroma will fill your kitchen, whetting your appetite for the delicious sandwich to come!
- Next, grab the bread slices and spread garlic butter evenly on one side of each slice. This is crucial because it will create a beautifully crispy outer layer when grilled. Once the garlic butter is generously applied, flip the slices over to their unbuttered side. On this side, layer shredded mozzarella cheese, which will give you that classic cheesy flavor and gooey texture.
- Now comes the fun part—putting your sandwich together! Position four of the cooked shrimp evenly on the mozzarella-covered slice of bread. Then, sprinkle a generous portion of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the shrimp. Finally, place another slice of bread on top, ensuring the buttered side faces outward. Repeat this for the remaining sandwiches, ready to grill to perfection!
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat, the perfect temperature to achieve golden brown bread without burning it. Gently place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet and let them cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Carefully flip them using a spatula once the bread is golden and the cheese starts melting. As the cooking progresses, you’ll smell the enticing aroma of melted cheese and shrimp blended with garlic. Your patience will be rewarded once they’re ready!
- Once grilled to perfection, remove the sandwiches from the skillet. A little time on a cutting board will make assembly clean. Cut the sandwiches in half to reveal the melty cheese and juicy shrimp inside. For the final touch, garnish from your fresh parsley, adding a pop of color and freshness. Serve your Cheesy Garlic Bread Shrimp Grilled Cheese hot, and watch as everyone enjoys this savory delight!
Notes
For best results, ensure the butter is softened for easy spreading but not melted. Don’t overcrowd the skillet; grill in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking.
