Shrimp and Cheese Grilled Sandwich

Ingredients:

• 200g shrimp, peeled and deveined

• 4 slices of bread (preferably thick-sliced)

• 1 cup shredded cheese (such as mozzarella, cheddar, or a mix)

• 2 tablespoons butter (softened)

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 garlic clove, minced

• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional, for added flavor)

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for a tangy kick)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the shrimp:

   • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

   • Add the shrimp to the skillet, season with salt, pepper, and paprika (if using), and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp are fully cooked and slightly golden.

   • Squeeze lemon juice over the shrimp for a fresh, zesty flavor. Set aside.

2. Prepare the bread:

   • Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.

   • Place the bread slices butter-side down on a flat surface.

3. Assemble the sandwich:

   • On one slice of bread (butter-side down), layer the cooked shrimp, followed by a generous amount of shredded cheese.

   • Top with another slice of bread, butter-side up.

4. Grill the sandwich:

   • Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.

   • Place the sandwich on the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.

5. Finish and serve:

   • Once the sandwich is crispy and the cheese has melted, remove it from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before cutting.

   • Sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish and serve immediately.
