Bread and Cheese
- 4 slices of bread

- Assemble the sandwiches: Top each toasted bread slice with the cooked shrimp evenly, then sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the shrimp.
- Melt the cheese: Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted completely and is bubbly.

- You can substitute cheddar cheese with other melting cheeses like mozzarella or Monterey Jack.
- For added spice, sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes on the shrimp before assembling.
- Serve with a side salad or soup for a complete meal.
- Butter quantity can be adjusted for less fat if desired.
