Cajun Shrimp Garlic Bread

olive oil

Bayou City Garlic Pepper Seasoning garlic pepper seasoning)

smoked paprika

cayenne pepper (optional)

unsalted butter

Worcestershire sauce

½ lemon

bread

unsalted butter (softened)

parsley (finely chopped)

mozzarella cheese

Monterey Jack cheese

parsley (chopped)

red pepper flakes (optional)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Add the shrimp to a medium bowl along with the olive oil, garlic pepper seasoning, smoked paprika, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Toss until the shrimp are evenly coated.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt.

Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, just until the shrimp begin to turn pink.

Add the minced garlic and Worcestershire sauce. Stir and cook for about 30 seconds, until the garlic is fragrant.

Squeeze the lemon juice over the shrimp, stir, and immediately remove the skillet from the heat. The shrimp should be slightly undercooked because they will finish cooking in the oven.

Slice the loaf of French bread in half lengthwise and place both halves cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.

In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley until combined.

Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread.

Sprinkle the mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheese evenly over both halves of bread. Top with the grated Parmesan cheese.

Arrange the cooked shrimp evenly over the cheese.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted around the edges.

Turn the oven to broil and broil for 1 to 2 minutes, until the cheese is lightly golden and bubbly. Watch the bread closely to prevent burning.

Remove the bread from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley and crushed red pepper flakes, if desired.

Allow the bread to cool for 2 to 3 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with lemon wedges.
