For the Shrimp:

½ lb shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 tbsp olive oil

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 tsp paprika

½ tsp chili flakes (optional, for heat)

For the Creamy Cheese Topping:

1 cup shredded mozzarella

½ cup shredded cheddar

¼ cup softened cream cheese

1 tbsp mayonnaise

1 tbsp freshly chopped chives

👩‍🍳 How to Make It

1️⃣ Prepare the Bread

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Stir the melted butter

and minced garlic together, then generously brush over

the cut sides of the bread.

2️⃣ Cook the Shrimp

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the

shrimp with salt, pepper, paprika, and chili flakes. Cook

for about 2–3 minutes per side, just until pink and cooked

through. Remove from heat and chop into small bite-

sized pieces.

3️⃣ Mix the Creamy Layer

In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and

half of the mozzarella and cheddar. Stir until smooth and

well blended.

4️⃣ Assemble the Bread

Spread the creamy cheese mixture evenly over the garlic-

brushed bread. Scatter the chopped shrimp on top, then

finish with the remaining shredded cheese.

5️⃣ Bake Until Bubbly

Place in the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until

the cheese is fully melted and bubbling. Broil for 1–2

minutes at the end for a beautifully golden top.

6️⃣ Garnish & Serve

Sprinkle with fresh chives, slice into pieces, and serve

warm.
