Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a medium skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sautΓ© for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for 3-4 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Chop the cooked shrimp into smaller pieces and place them into a mixing bowl.
Add mayonnaise, shredded cheddar cheese, parsley, and lemon juice to the shrimp. Mix well until combined.
Spread the shrimp mixture evenly onto two slices of bread. Top each with another slice of bread to form sandwiches.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the remaining butter or olive oil.
Cook the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing lightly with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Remove from the skillet, cut in half if desired, and serve warm.
