Shrimp and Vegetable Quesadillas

These were amazing. It is always nice when you can wrap up all the components of your meal into one delicious package too.

1 lb uncooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
3/4 c thawed corn kernels (or 2 medium size ears with the kernels cut off)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 yellow squashed, chopped
1 medium zucchini, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
tortillas
2-3 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Heat a pan over medium heat. Add a little olive oil and toss in shrimp and 2 cloves of minced garlic. Cook for about 3 minutes until the shrimp are completely pink. Remove shrimp from pan and set aside. Add vegetables and remaining garlic and cook until soft.

Preheat oven to 350. Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick spray. Place a tortilla on the cookie sheet and add a 1/4 cup of cheese, top with 5 or so shrimp, a 1/2 cup of the vegetables, and another 1/4 cup of cheese. Top with another tortilla and repeat until you have made enough to feed everyone.

Place quesadillas in the oven for 5-10 minutes, until cheese is melted and tortillas are as browned as desired.

  2. They would be great with chicken. You wouldn't have to change much, but I would boil the chicken breast or use a leftover and shred it and add it in when you would the shrimp. You could saute it with garlic or you could omit that step.
