Ingredients
  

8 oz large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 slices of sourdough bread

4 slices of sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

2 tablespoons butter, softened

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Shrimp: In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Ensure the shrimp are evenly coated with the seasoning.

    Cook the Shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.

      Assemble the Sandwiches: On a flat surface, take two slices of sourdough bread. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each. Distribute the cooked shrimp evenly over the cheese, then top with the shredded mozzarella.

        Grill the Sandwiches: Place the remaining slices of sourdough on top to form two sandwiches. Spread softened butter on the outside of each sandwich.

          Cook to Perfection: In the same skillet over medium heat, grill the sandwiches for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheeses are melted.

            Serve: Remove from heat and let cool for a minute. Cut each sandwich in half, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot for the best flavor experience.
