Cheesy Garlic Bread Shrimp Grilled Cheese is basically the ultimate indulgent sandwich—crispy, garlicky, cheesy, and packed with shrimp. Here’s a simple way to make it:
Ingredients (serves 2)
- 4 slices of bread (sourdough or your favorite type)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 200g (about 7 oz) cooked shrimp, peeled and chopped
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried parsley or fresh chopped parsley
- Optional: mayonnaise or cream cheese for extra creaminess
Instructions
- Prepare garlic butter:
- In a small pan, melt butter and sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds. Remove from heat and stir in parsley.
- Prepare the shrimp:
- If using raw shrimp, cook them quickly in a pan with a little butter, salt, and pepper until pink. Chop into small pieces.
- Assemble the sandwiches:
- Spread garlic butter on the outer sides of the bread slices.
- On the inside, layer cheese, shrimp, and optional mayonnaise or cream cheese.
- Grill:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook 2–3 minutes per side, until the bread is golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
- Serve hot:
- Cut in half and enjoy immediately.
💡 Tips:
- Add a pinch of chili flakes for a spicy kick.
- You can mix herbs like oregano or basil into the cheese for extra flavor.
- Use sturdy bread like sourdough or ciabatta so it holds all the filling without getting soggy.
