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.

- In a clean skillet, heat some butter. Place a tortilla in the skillet, then layer on the ingredients: cheese, vegetables and shrimp. Top with a little more cheese and a second tortilla. Cook on both sides, adding butter before flipping to the other side so the tortilla isn't overly dry. Remove from the skillet and slice into wedges.

Steps:
- 1. PREP: In a medium pan, add one Tbsp of olive oil, chopped garlic and the juice from 1 lime over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp and sauté until fully cooked (pink & opaque, approx 5 min). Remove to clean cutting board and roughly chop.
- 2. FOR QUESADILLAS: *Note - Spray down pan with oil between each quesadilla. Over medium heat, lay out 2 tortillas for approx 1 min each side. (You can do all of them ahead of time and keep under a tea towel to keep warm or two at a time as you go.) Lay one tortilla into pan, add cheese, shrimp, and another layer of cheese. Lay another tortilla on top and mash down with a spatula. Cook for approx 4min on each side or until cheese is melted. Once off the stove, cut the quesadillas into quarters and serve!
- 3. FOR GUACAMOLE: In food processor, combine the meat of 3 avocados, the juice of 1 lime, garlic powder, cilantro, chilies in adobo sauce & salt and pepper. Pulse together until creamy. I highly recommend tasting and adjusting to your preference. Some don't like as much cilantro, some may want it spicier and add more chilies!
