6 large buttery croissants
1 lb small shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped
2 tbsp unsalted butter

½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and shrimp, cooking for 2–3 minutes until the shrimp are just pink.
