Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper to the shrimp while cooking.
- You can use any kind of bread you prefer, but sturdy bread like sourdough or country white works best for grilling.
- To ensure even melting, cover the skillet with a lid when melting the cheese.
- Leftover shrimp can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days and used in wraps or salads.
