🥘 Ingredients

13 items

• 1 cup Cooked shrimp (peeled, deveined, and chopped)
• 1 cup Lump crab meat
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Green onions (finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 3 tablespoons Butter (softened)
• 8 slices Sourdough bread (or bread of choice)

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. In a medium bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, green onions, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is evenly combined.

2. Fold in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese, ensuring the cheese is well distributed throughout the mixture.

3. Spread a thin, even layer of butter on one side of each bread slice. Lay them butter-side down on a clean surface or plate.

4. Spoon the shrimp and crab mixture onto the unbuttered side of four slices of bread, spreading it out evenly. Place the remaining bread slices on top, butter-side up, to form sandwiches.

5. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, place the sandwiches into the skillet, working in batches if necessary.

6. Cook each sandwich for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese in the filling has melted.

7. Carefully remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them sit for a minute before slicing in half and serving.

8. Serve the grilled sandwiches warm, optionally pairing them with a side salad, soup, or fries.
