Shrimp Quesadillas Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Make the Spinach Dip

   In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. In a bowl, combine the cooked spinach, cream cheese, and lime juice. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

2. 2

   Prepare the Shrimp

   In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with salt, black pepper, and cumin. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and chop the shrimp into smaller pieces.

3. 3

   Assemble the Quesadillas

   On one half of each flour tortilla, spread a generous amount of spinach dip. Top with chopped shrimp and a portion of shredded asiago cheese. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.

4. 4

   Cook the Quesadillas

   In the same skillet, or a clean skillet, place the folded quesadilla and cook over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

5. 5

   Serve

   Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve warm with additional spinach dip or salsa on the side.
