Instructions
Simple Sautéed Shrimp:
- Place the shrimp in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice.
- Sprinkle paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper over the shrimp.
- Sauté the shrimp in a large skillet over medium-high heat until no longer translucent and fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes. You can also grill or air fry the shrimp.
Quesadillas:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the pan.
- Place a tortilla in the pan on top of the melted butter and evenly sprinkle 1/2 cup of cheese on it.
- Place 1/2 cup of the cooked shrimp on one half of the tortilla and spread 1 tablespoon of salsa on the other half.
- Allow the cheese to melt for about 3-4 minutes, then fold the tortilla in half.
- Cook for another minute, then flip the quesadilla to brown the other side to your liking and ensure the cheese is thoroughly melted.
- Repeat steps 1-5 with the remaining tortillas and ingredients, adding more butter as needed.
- Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and cut it into wedges.
- Serve with guacamole, sour cream, and additional salsa on the side.
