Categories     Mexican

Time 36m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 lb large shrimp, pre-cooked, peeled, and deveined
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 lb fresh white mushroom, sliced
1 cup fresh spinach leaves, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
4 (8 inch) flour tortillas (fat free)
1 cup monterey jack cheese (reduced fat)

Steps:

  • Remove the tails from the shrimp.
  • Spray a non-stick skillet with non-stick spray and set over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, cumin and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and spinach and cook, stirring frequently until softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat, add the shrimp and cilantro.
  • Place a tortilla on a work surface. Top half of the tortilla with 2 tablespoons of cheese, one-fourth of the shrimp mixture, then 2 tablespoons of cheese. Flatten and fold over the top half of the tortilla over the filling to form a semi-circle, lightly pressing the edges to seal.
  • Repeat with the remaining ingredients, making 4 quesdillas.
  • Wipe the skillet clean, spray with non-stick spray, and set over medium heat.
  • Add 2 quesadillas and cook until the cheese melts and outsides of the tortillas are lightly browned, about 4 minutes per side.
  • Transfer quesadillas to a plate and keep warm.
  • Repeat with remaining two quesadillas.

SHRIMP QUESADILLA



Shrimp Quesadilla image

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h20m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces pepper jack cheese
Six 16-20 count unpeeled shrimp, deveined
Olive oil, for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 large flour tortillas
1/4 cup chopped roasted red pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Place cheese in freezer for around 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Drizzle shrimp with olive oil in a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Spread on a baking sheet and bake, rotating once, until just cooked through, 7 to 9 minutes.
  • When shrimp are cool enough to handle, remove and discard peels and tails. Cut shrimp into thirds.
  • Shred cheese using the large holes on a box grater.
  • Spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise on one side of a tortilla. Place tortilla, mayo-side down, in a large skillet. Sprinkle half the cheese evenly over the top of the entire tortilla, then turn heat on to medium-low heat. While pan is heating, sprinkle half of the chopped shrimp, half of the roasted red peppers and half of the cilantro on one half of the tortilla, leaving the other half with just cheese. Let quesadilla cook, checking that the bottom of the tortilla doesn't burn, until cheese is mostly melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and carefully fold the quesadilla in half like a book, folding the cheese side over the toppings. Place quesadilla on a plate and let rest 5 minutes. Repeat with second tortilla and ingredients. Cut into wedges before serving.

SHRIMP AND SPINACH QUESADILLAS



Shrimp and Spinach Quesadillas image

I made this up for my daughter, who does not like meat. It is really delicious. It has a more "Italian" feel to it, so salsa is not really good with it, but sour cream or ranch dressing make nice dipping sauces. The ingredients are for ONE quesadilla. I think this would make a really nice appetizer or snack, as well. I make these two at a time on my electric griddle, and pretty much put the filling in a ring around the tortilla - not too close to the center or edge. Once the cheese melts and spreads out a bit, the filling is then perfectly even.
