Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the softened butter evenly on the cut sides of the Italian bread and sprinkle with garlic salt.
Arrange the bread cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, until slightly golden.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, around 3-4 minutes.
Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the shrimp, kosher salt, and black pepper to the skillet, cooking until the shrimp turns pink, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Pour in the heavy whipping cream, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then add the grated parmesan cheese, mixing until melted and smooth.
Season with additional kosher salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes to taste.
Once the sauce is ready, layer the shrimp mixture over the toasted bread.
Top with shredded mozzarella and white cheddar cheeses, then return to the oven.
Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Remove from oven, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add cooked bacon or spinach to the shrimp mixture.
Feel free to use any combination of cheeses that you prefer for a unique twist.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
