Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Shrimp Quesadilla Delight.
Step 1
Begin by warming 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Toss in the sliced onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper.
Step 3
Sauté these vibrant veggies, stirring often, until the onion turns translucent and the peppers soften, which should take around 6 to 8 minutes.
Step 4
Next, sprinkle in salt, ground cumin, and chili powder, ensuring every piece of vegetable is beautifully coated with the spices.
Step 5
Now, introduce the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet.
Step 6
Stir and cook until the shrimp turn opaque and lose their pink hue, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 7
Once done, remove the skillet from the heat and fold in the minced jalapeño and a splash of fresh lime juice for that zesty kick.
Step 8
In a separate skillet, heat it over medium heat and lightly brush it with about 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil.
Step 9
Lay one tortilla in the hot skillet, then spoon one-sixth of the shrimp mixture and half a cup of shredded Mexican cheese blend onto one side.
Step 10
Fold the tortilla in half and let it sizzle until the bottom is a lovely golden brown, roughly 5 minutes.
Step 11
Flip it over and allow the other side to brown, which should take another 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 12
Continue this delicious process with the remaining tortillas and filling, creating a stack of cheesy, shrimp-filled quesadillas that are sure to impress.
Step 13
Enjoy the delightful crunch and savory flavors with every bite!.
