QUESADILLAS DE CAMARONES (PIONEER WOMAN)



Quesadillas De Camarones (Pioneer Woman) image

Wow are these terrific. I never thought about making shrimp quesadillas, and I wish I saw this recipe sooner. I didn't use as much butter as the recipe called for, and I found my griddle worked great the whole way through just by starting with a little butter in the pan. I also didn't find it needed any salt because the enchilada sauce was salty enough. I served this with guacamole and salsa. If I had any cilantro in the house, I would have topped the entire mixture with a bunch of it. Recipe courtesy of The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food From My Frontier.

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 large onion (cut in half and then into slices)
1 red bell pepper (seeded and sliced into strips)

6 tablespoons butter (for frying, I skipped this part)
12 large flour tortillas
2 1/2 cups monterey jack cheese (shredded)
pico de gallo, for serving
guacamole, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Throw in the shrimp.

  • Pour in the tomato sauce.
  • Stir around and allow to simmer for a couple of minutes.
  • Remove the shrimp from the skillet, and chop it into chunks. Set aside.
  • In a separate skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over high heat.
  • Throw in the onion and peppers and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until the peppers are have a few dark brown or black areas.
  • Remove the peppers from the skillet and set them aside.
  • Sizzle 1/2 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat and lay a flour tortilla in the pan. Cover with grated cheese.
  • Cover the cheese with pepper and onion mixture.
  • Lay the chopped shrimp on top of the peppers.
  • When the tortilla is golden, top with the second tortilla and carefully flip the quesadilla to the other side, adding the other 1/2 tablespoon butter to the skillet at the same time.
  • Continue cooking until the second side is golden.
  • Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
  • Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve with pico de gallo and guacamole.

Quesadillas De Camarones (Shrimp Quesadillas) - Pioneer Woman image

I discovered The Pioneer woman earlier this year and am happy that I did. Ree does a tremendous job providing detailed instructions and pictures on how to make all of her recipes. I made these quesadillas last month..and man oh man are they good! I found the key for these quesadillas is cooking the vegetables separately from the shrimp, chopping the shrimp into small pieces, and of course the butter used in the cooking of the assembled quesadilla...use butter...I promise...you won't be sorry you did. Enjoy!!

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.
