– 8 oz cooked shrimp, tails removed, chopped

– 1 tablespoon olive oil

– 1 tablespoon lemon juice

– 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning (optional, for extra flavor)

– 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)

**Instructions:**

1. **Prepare the Garlic Butter:**

3. **Assemble the Sandwiches:**
