Method
Prepare the Seafood Filling
Cook the Shrimp
In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the Shrimp
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque.
Mix in Crab Meat
Gently fold in the cooked crab meat, lime juice, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Assemble the Quesadillas
Add Cheese
Sprinkle a layer of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese on one half of the tortilla.
Add Seafood Filling
Spoon a portion of the seafood filling over the cheese.
Fold and Cook
Fold the tortilla in half and press down gently. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until it’s golden brown, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and both sides are golden.
Repeat
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Serve
Cut and Serve
