    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

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

    • Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese on each slice of bread.
    • Top the cheese with a few cooked shrimp.
    • Place the remaining 4 slices of bread, garlic butter side up, on top of the shrimp.
  4. Grill the Sandwiches:
