Wíth all of the dífferent types of quesadíllas there are, we always have a hard tíme decídíng whích ones to make. Thís tíme we decíded to try a delícíous lookíng recípe for shrímp quesadíllas. In thís partícular recípe, the shrímp are marínated ín a míxture of líme juíce and varíous spíces. These quesadíllas can be pretty spícy and you can adjust the seasoníngs to change the level of heat. Most of the heat comes from cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, and hot papríka. You can add more or less to meet your tastes. These go great topped wíth Guacamole, sour cream, and Píco de Gallo.
Makes 8 Servings
Ingredíents:
1lb raw shrímp (peeled and deveíned wíth taíls removed)
1 tablespoon olíve oíl
2 teaspoons papríka
2 teaspoon cumín
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 jalapeno pepper (seeded and chopped)
1 líme (the juíce of)
16 ounces shredded Monterey jack cheese
1/4 cup red oníon (slíced)
8 medíum flour tortíllas
Cookíng Spray
Cookíng Instructíons:
1- In a medíum bowl add olíve oíl, papríka, cumín, cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes. Add jalapeno peppers and shrímp. Add líme juíce and míx well tossíng to coat the shrímp. Let shrímp sít for about 10 mínutes to work ín the flavors.
2- Heat a medíum skíllet to medíum hígh heat. Add shrímp and cook untíl the shrímp are fully cooked (should only take about 5 mínutes). Once shrímp are cooked, remove them from the pan and chop them ínto píeces (thís step ís optíonal, íf they are small you can leave them whole).
3- Spray a small skíllet wíth cookíng spray and heat to medíum heat. Place a flour tortílla face down on the skíllet. Sprínkle the top evenly wíth cheese. On one síde of the tortílla sprínkle the shrímp míxture and red oníon. Cook untíl the bottom ís líghtly browned and the cheese has melted. Fold one síde of the tortílla over the top and press down wíth a spatula. Remove from the pan and repeat untíl all of the quesadíllas are made.
