Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 pound of shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 8 flour tortillas
- 2 cups of shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1/2 cup of diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup of sour cream
- 1/4 cup of salsa
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are pink and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Place 4 tortillas on a flat surface. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheese on each tortilla. Divide the cooked shrimp, diced tomatoes, and cilantro evenly among the 4 tortillas. Top each with another 1/2 cup of shredded cheese and place the remaining 4 tortillas on top to form quesadillas.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Carefully transfer one quesadilla to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas.
- Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with sour cream and salsa on the side. Enjoy!
Shrimp Quesadillas with extra cheese have a rich history rooted in the fusion of Mexican and seafood cuisine. Originating in coastal regions of Mexico, this dish combines the flavors of succulent shrimp, gooey cheese, and warm tortillas. Renowned chefs like Rick Bayless have popularized this dish, infusing it with their own unique twists. The best versions of this dish can be found in coastal towns like Puerto Vallarta, where fresh shrimp is abundant. To make the perfect Shrimp Quesadillas, it's crucial to use high-quality cheese and perfectly cooked shrimp. Alternatively, some chefs add a touch of spice with jalapeños or chipotle for an extra kick.
