Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound small shrimp
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay spice ((add more or less to taste))
  • 12 slices of bread ((I used a multi-grain variety))
  • Buttery spread or butter
  • 3 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded monterey jack/colby blend

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a skillet.
  • Add the shrimp, paprika, and Old Bay and cook until the shrimp is pink and cooked. Set aside.
  • Butter one side of each of the 12 slices of bread with the buttery spread.
  • Place 6 of the slices butter side down on a baking sheet.
  • Distribute the spinach across the 6 slices, then distribute the cooked shrimp, then then the shredded cheese.
  • Place the remaining 6 slices of bread on top, buttered side up.
  • Bake in the oven for 6-8 minutes, then flip the sandwiches and bake about 6 minutes more, until the sandwiches are golden brown and crispy. (Alternatively, you can grill them on the stove top on a griddle or in a skillet).
