- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 8 slices Italian or sourdough bread
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil. Add garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper, then sauté shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Remove and chop into bite-sized pieces.
- In a small bowl, mix softened butter, parsley, and garlic powder to make garlic butter.
- Spread garlic butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
- Heat a griddle or skillet to medium-low. Place 4 slices of bread, butter-side down, on the skillet.

- Cook sandwiches for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted, pressing gently with a spatula.

Notes
- Use sourdough or Italian bread for best flavor and sturdiness.
- For extra garlic punch, add roasted garlic to the butter mixture.
- Pairs perfectly with tomato soup or a light salad.
