SHRIMP QUESADILLA RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil until shimmering. Add the onion and bell pepper and sauté, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 6 minutes.
• Add the shrimp, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, and salt to taste. Cook until the shrimp are pink and opaque, about 4 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and set aside.
• Wipe down the skillet and return it to the heat, or use a separate skillet if needed. Add 1 tablespoon butter and allow it to melt but not brown.
• Add the tortilla to the pan and sprinkle about half the cheese on top of the tortilla, then top with the shrimp mixture and add the remaining cheese.
• Top with the second tortilla. Spread the remaining tablespoon butter on top. Cook until the bottom is golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes.
• Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook until brown and crisp on the other side and the cheese is melted, about 3 more minutes. Lower the heat if the tortilla is getting too dark before the cheese is fully melted.
• Transfer to a cutting board and slice into wedges using a large knife or a pizza cutter. Serve hot with your choice of toppings or sauces for dipping.

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.
