Categories     Lunch     Entree     Dinner

Time 26m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
½ yellow onion, sliced
½ bell pepper, sliced
¼ lb uncooked large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons butter
2 burrito size tortillas
1 ½ cups Monterey jack cheese

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.
