Description
This Shrimp and Garlic Bread Grilled Cheese is a flavor-packed twist on a classic. Juicy shrimp meet gooey melted mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan between crispy, garlic-buttered sourdough slices. It’s the perfect quick dinner with a restaurant-quality feel—simple, comforting, and utterly satisfying.
Ingredients
8 slices of sourdough or Italian bread
6 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp dried parsley
1 cup shredded mozzarella
1/2 cup shredded cheddar
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
Fresh shrimp, cleaned and deveined
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt (for seasoning)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix softened butter with minced garlic and parsley. Set aside.
Lightly season shrimp with salt and toss in olive oil. Sauté until pink and cooked through.
Spread garlic butter on one side of each bread slice.
Heat a skillet over medium heat.
Layer one slice (buttered side out) with mozzarella, cooked shrimp, and Parmesan. Top with another slice of bread, buttered side out.
Grill in the skillet for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula until the bread is golden and the cheese melts.
Remove and let rest briefly before slicing and serving.
Notes
Try different cheeses like provolone or fontina for flavor variation.
Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick to the garlic butter.
Serve with tomato soup or Caesar salad for a complete meal.
To save time, prep garlic butter and shrimp in advance.
Whole grain bread or low-fat cheese can make the recipe healthier.
