Shrimp Quesadillas

 

Start with about 20 small shrimp, peeled and deveined

Most grocery stores sell these prepackaged and fresh at the seafood counter

Cover them with taco sauce, I use the smooth Ortega Salsa

Chop up 1/2 of each:

Large Onion

Red Pepper

Green Pepper 

I also added a jalapeno pepper for some spice

 

Heat skillet to high heat with about 1 tbs of oil

Add in the veggies and saute on high until they start to brown.

It is very important that you cook them on high, this allows them to brown without getting mushy.

 After a few minutes remove the veggies from the pan and set aside

In the same pan that you cooked the veggies in toss in the shrimp, sauce and all. 

Saute for about 5 minutes or until done

 

When the shrimp are cooked remove from the pan to a cutting board and roughly chop

Wipe the pan out with a paper towel and return it to med heat. 

Add about 1 TBS of butter

 Once that has melted add your tortilla

Cook for roughly 3 minutes until golden brown

Add veggies, shrimp and shredded cheese to one half of the tortilla

Fold in half

Serve with a side of homemade guacamole

Guacamole: 

2 Avacados - 1 Tbs thin sliced and diced onion - 1 Tbs water - Salt and Pepper to Taste - Blend together
