Recipe Information
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
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the baguette or loaf of crusty bread in half lengthwise and place the halves cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
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.
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, and mayonnaise together to form a smooth spread.
Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the bread.
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the bread.
Distribute the chopped shrimp on top of the cheese layer.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and the grated Parmesan cheese over the shrimp.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Slice the Shrimp Cheese Bread into individual servings and serve warm. Enjoy!
