1. Prepare the Garlic Bread:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Mix the softened butter with minced garlic, dried parsley, dried basil, and salt.
Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the French bread.
2. Bake the Garlic Bread:
Place the bread on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and set aside.
3. Cook the Shrimp:
While the garlic bread is baking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Season the shrimp with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Remove from heat.
4. Assemble the Grilled Cheese:
Place one slice of the baked garlic bread, buttered side down, on a skillet over medium heat.
Layer with slices of cheese and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella. Top with cooked shrimp.
Cover with the second slice of garlic bread, buttered side up.
5. Grill the Sandwich:
Butter the top of the sandwich. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
6. Serve:
Slice the sandwich in half and serve hot. Enjoy the gooey, cheesy, garlic-infused goodness with succulent shrimp!
