Start by mixing the softened butter with minced garlic in a small bowl. Spread this garlic butter mixture evenly on one side of each slice of bread.

In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Cook until the shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place a slice of bread, garlic butter side down, on the skillet.

Add a generous layer of mozzarella cheese on the bread, followed by some of the cooked shrimp and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Top with another slice of bread, garlic butter side up.

Cook until the bottom slice is golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side until golden and the cheese is melted, another 3-4 minutes.

Remove from the skillet and let the sandwich rest for a minute before slicing. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches.

Sprinkle a little dried parsley over the top of each sandwich for a pop of color and extra flavor.

Feel free to get creative with your cheeses! A blend of mozzarella and cheddar adds a nice sharpness. If you don’t have shrimp, this recipe also works well with cooked chicken or even crispy bacon. For an extra kick, try adding a dash of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter. And if you’re short on time, you can use pre-cooked shrimp to save a few minutes.
