Prepare the Shrimp Filling
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp, red bell pepper, onion, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Assemble the Quesadilla
Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over one half of the tortilla. Top with a portion of the shrimp filling, then sprinkle with more cheese, and fold the tortilla over to cover the filling.

Cook the Quesadilla
In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if necessary and heat over medium heat. Place the quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Remove from skillet and repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
