As I watched The Pioneer Woman on the Food Channel this morning, I realized that we have not had shrimp in quite some time and since it is my favorite food, I'm craving it and have posted lots of recipes that include shrimp lately!
These quesadillas look awesome! One of the things I love about this recipe is the opportunity to vary the ingredients. Pork or chicken would also work well with this recipe.
The Captain and I love spicy texmex type of food and the combination of ingredients is perfect for our taste. Sometimes we make our own tortillas to make these type of dishes extra special. Try it sometime when you have some extra time on your hands . . . you won't be sorry!
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 Instructions
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!
