Instructions

In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add shrimp, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix 4 tablespoons butter with parsley, garlic powder, oregano, and Parmesan to make the garlic butter spread.
Spread the garlic butter mixture on one side of each bread slice.
Assemble the sandwiches: place one slice of bread (butter side down) on a skillet or griddle, add mozzarella, shrimp, cheddar, and top with another slice of bread (butter side up).
Cook over medium-low heat for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
Slice in half and serve hot with marinara or garlic dipping sauce.

Notes

Use pre-cooked shrimp to save time—just sauté briefly in garlic butter for extra flavor.
For an extra cheesy pull, add a layer of provolone or Monterey Jack cheese.
Brush the outer bread with garlic butter before grilling for maximum crispiness.
Pairs perfectly with tomato soup or Caesar salad.
