That sounds like a delicious combination! Here’s a recipe to make a Cheesy Garlic Bread Shrimp Grilled Cheese:
Ingredients:
For the Garlic Bread:
- 4 slices of bread (your choice, but a sturdy bread like sourdough works well)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- Salt, to taste
For the Shrimp:
- 1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
For the Grilled Cheese:
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional, for extra crispiness)
Instructions:
Prepare the Garlic Bread:
- In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt.
- Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
Cook the Shrimp:
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season the shrimp with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
- Cook the shrimp in the skillet until they are pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and set aside.
Assemble the Grilled Cheese:
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Place two slices of bread, garlic butter side down, in the skillet.
- Sprinkle a mix of mozzarella, cheddar, and parmesan cheese on each slice.
- Add the cooked shrimp evenly over the cheese.
- Top with the remaining slices of bread, garlic butter side up.
Cook the Grilled Cheese:
- Cook until the bottom slice of bread is golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is melted, another 3-4 minutes. Press down gently with a spatula to help melt the cheese and make the sandwich compact.
Serve:
- Remove from the skillet and let cool for a minute.
- Slice in half and serve hot.
