Grilled Shrimp Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine shrimp, olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, and taco seasoning. Mix well and let marinate for 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Shrimp

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers and grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Quesadillas

    On half of each tortilla, layer grilled shrimp, shredded cheese, lettuce, and diced tomato. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling.

  4. 4

    Cook the Quesadillas

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook each quesadilla for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Remove from skillet and cut into wedges.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the quesadillas warm with sour cream and a side of salsa ranchera or guacamole.
