How To Make Shrimp Quesadillas

They’re super quick and easy to make, packed with flavor and highlight shrimp in a festive and spicy way.

Calling all shrimp lovers! These DELICIOUS shrimp quesadillas are a must-try. We’ve made them countless times and will continue to make them forever.

It’s all made in one pan in under 20 minutes tops. First, the onions, bell peppers, and garlic are sauteed for a just a minute.

Next, the shrimp and seasoning are added and cooked for just another minute or two (side note, shrimp cooks in literally minutes, which is why I LOVE cooking it).

Now, all that’s left is to add some shrimp mixture in a tortilla, top with cheese, and toast until crispy.

The outcome is crispy quesadillas filled with cheesy shrimp and a mouth-watering flavor combo that is out of this world!

1 pound uncooked medium shrimp peeled and deveined

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 cup onion chopped

1/2 cup bell pepper chopped2 cloves garlic minced

2 tablespoons taco seasoning or

1 tablespoon chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon EACH garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, paprika, ground cumin, salt, black pepper

1-2 cups melting cheese mozzarella, cheddar, Mexican blend or Monterey Jack

6-8 medium flour tortillas

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or pan. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the pan.

Cook for 1 minute or until tender. Add the shrimp and taco seasoning and cook for another 1-2 minutes or until shrimp begins to turn pink.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and rinse and whip down the pan with a paper towel. Return the pan to the heat and spray cooking spray or brush with about 1 teaspoon vegetable oil.Place a tortilla in the pan and sprinkle cheese on one side of the tortilla.

Spoon about 5-6 shrimp or enough to cover with another sprinkle of cheese. Fold tortilla in half. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden and crispy. Repeat for reaming tortillas. Serve with Sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
