Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

¼ (16 ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained and minced

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

2 small limes, juiced

¼ teaspoon chili powder

8 large shrimp – peeled, deveined, and chopped into bite-sized pieces

2 teaspoons olive oil

¼ small onion, minced

4 (8 inch) flour tortillas

½ cup shredded Mexican cheese blend

Directions

Combine roasted red peppers, cilantro, lime juice, and chili powder in a shallow dish. Toss chopped shrimp in the lime mixture. Chill in the refrigerator.

Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Saute onion in the hot oil until tender and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add shrimp and lime mixture and saute until shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove mixture from the skillet.

Assemble quesadillas by placing shrimp mixture and Mexican cheese in between 2 tortillas.

Heat tortillas in the skillet over medium-low heat until cheese is melted and tortillas are crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Cut quesadillas into bite-sized segments and serve.

Cook's Note:

You can substitute any cheese of your choice for the Mexican cheese blend.
