Description

Shrimp quesadillas to die for! I crave these in my sleep.

Ingredients

  • Flour Tortillas
  • 12 whole Large Shrimp, Peeled And Deveined
  • 8 ounces, fluid Mexican Red Sauce
  • 1 whole Large Onion
  • 1 whole Red Bell Pepper
  • 1 whole Green Bell Pepper
  • 2 cups Cheese, Grated (Monterey Jack Is Best)
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • Salt To Taste

Preparation

Pour red sauce over shrimp. Set aside.
Chop vegetables into large pieces. Heat skillet over high heat and add olive oil. Cook vegetables over high heat until they start to get brown/black. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Return skillet to high heat, then dump in the shrimp with the sauce. Cook, stirring only occasionally, until shrimp is opaque. Add in a little water if the sauce gets dry. Remove from skillet and chop into bite-size pieces.
In a separate skillet, heat butter. Place a tortilla in the skillet, then layer on 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 skillet and slice into wedges. Serve with rice, beans, salsa, sour cream, guacamole—whatever you’d like!

I made these the other night and I don’t believe I have ever seen my son eat something that fast. Everyone in the family loved it!

Go, Ree! Served these up with some Crash Hot Potatoes and a little home made Salsa and Sour Cream. The Man was mucho happy.

These were great! Definitely not your usual quesadilla…..so much better. And the leftovers were pretty darn tasty the next day for lunch also!

I’ve made this a few times. Managed to set off the smoke alarm every time. So worth it! :)

Followed the recipe except for the tomato sauce, I had to use green enchilada sauce because I was out. The kids ate them minus veggies, but Eric and I thought they were tasty!

A little hard to turn but the tortillas was nice and crisp and the inside was hot and not too spicy.

Very easy to make!
