2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika ️
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Prepare the shrimp:

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
Assemble the sandwich:

Butter one side of each slice of bread. Place the buttered side down on a clean surface.
Layer one slice of bread with shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese, followed by the cooked shrimp. Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side up.
Grill the sandwich:

Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing down lightly with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Serve:

Slice the sandwich in half and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot and enjoy the gooey, cheesy shrimp goodness!
