Ingredients

For the sandwich

4 slices thick bread (sourdough or your choice)
1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 tbsp butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

Cooking the Shrimp

Heat a pan over medium-high heat.
Season the shrimp with salt and pepper.
Sauté the shrimp with minced garlic in melted butter until pink and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.
Set aside.

Preparing the Sandwich

Brush each slice of bread with melted butter and sprinkle garlic on top.
Place mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on two slices of bread.
Add the sautéed shrimp on top of the cheese.
Close the sandwich with the other two slices of bread.

Grilling

Grill the sandwiches in the same pan on medium heat, pressing gently until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with a side salad or chips.

Notes

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for about 1-2 days. Reheat in a pan on low heat to keep the bread crispy. Make sure not to overcook the shrimp; they should be just pink and tender.
