Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1 lime, juiced
1 teaspoon vegetable oil, or as needed
6 large flour tortillas
3 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend, divided

Steps:

Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper in the hot oil, stirring frequently, until onion is translucent and peppers are soft, 6 to 8 minutes.
Stir salt, cumin, and chili powder into onion and bell peppers.
Stir shrimp into onion and bell peppers and cook until shrimp are opaque and no longer pink in the center, 3 to 5 minutes.
Remove skillet from heat; stir jalapeno pepper and lime juice into shrimp mixture.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and brush with about 1 teaspoon vegetable oil.
Place a tortilla in the hot oil. Spoon about 1/6 shrimp filling and 1/2 cup Mexican cheese blend on one side of tortilla. Fold tortilla in half.
Cook until bottom of tortilla is lightly browned, about 5 minutes; flip and cook other side until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

Heat a large heavy skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high heat. Add the oil, swirl to coat the pan, and immediately add the sliced onion. Cook the slices, stirring frequently, until well browned (almost a little charred) at the edges but still crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Adjust the heat higher, if necessary, so the onions cook quickly. Remove to a plate and wipe out the skillet. Turn the heat to medium.
To assemble the quesadillas, divide the onion among the tortillas, spreading them over half of each tortilla. Divide the shrimp among the tortillas, arranging it on top of the onion. Scatter the tomatoes and cilantro evenly over the shrimp. Arrange the cheese over the filling. Fold the tortillas over to form half-circles.
Heat the skillet over medium heat. Place 1 or 2 tortillas in the pan (depending on the size of the pan) and cook until the bottom is nicely browned, about 2 minutes. Use a wide spatula or 2 spatulas--sandwiching the tortilla between them--to turn the quesadillas. Brown the other side, making sure the cheese melts. Place on a cutting board. Repeat to make the other quesadillas.
Use a sharp knife to cut each quesadilla into 3 wedges. Arrange on warm dinner plates and serve immediately with salsa.

First double-skewer the shrimp. You can use metal of wood skewers - whatever you have is fine. The double skewer keeps the shrimp from flopping all over the place when you're placing them on the grill. Thread the shrimp onto the skewers, piercing once near the tail and once near the head. Keep the shrimp facing all the same direction and with a little space in between.
Squeeze about 2-3 tablespoons fresh lime juice over the shrimp. Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Let the shrimp marinate for 15 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates. Place shrimp skewers on preheated grill and cook shrimp until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center. About 6 to 8 minutes.
Pull the shrimp off and chop coarsely. Gather up the shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, and tortillas and head out to the grill.
