Ingredients

• 1 loaf Baguette or crusty bread
• 200 grams Shrimp (peeled and deveined, medium-sized)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Slice the baguette or loaf of crusty bread in half lengthwise and place the halves cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the shrimp with a pinch of salt and black pepper for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and are fully cooked. Remove from heat and roughly chop the shrimp into smaller pieces.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, and mayonnaise together to form a smooth spread.

Step 5

Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the bread.

Step 6

Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the bread.

Step 7

Distribute the chopped shrimp on top of the cheese layer.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and the grated Parmesan cheese over the shrimp.

Step 9

Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.

Step 10

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Step 11

Slice the Shrimp Cheese Bread into individual servings and serve warm. Enjoy!
