🔥 Instructions

1. Prepare garlic butter

   • Mix softened butter with minced garlic, parsley, and a pinch of salt. Spread it on one side of each bread slice.

2. Cook the shrimp

   • Heat olive oil in a skillet. Add shrimp, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Remove from pan and chop into bite-sized pieces.

3. Assemble sandwiches

   • Place a slice of bread (butter side down) in a skillet.
   • Add a layer of mozzarella + cheddar.
   • Sprinkle chopped shrimp evenly.
   • Add a bit of parmesan.
   • Top with more cheese and the second slice of bread (butter side up).

4. Grill

   • Cook over medium-low heat, pressing gently with a spatula until the bread is golden brown and cheese is fully melted (about 3–4 minutes per side).

5. Serve

   • Slice in half and enjoy hot! Perfect with marinara sauce or a side salad.
