Shrimp Quesadillas

These shrimp quesadillas are quick and easy to make, so they are perfect for those weeknights when you don't have a lot of time to spare.  If you aren't a fan of shrimp, you can always make them with just peppers and cheese. 

I use a quesadilla maker to make my quesadillas, but you can always just make them in a pan on the stove top.

Ingredients:

shrimp (about 30, deveined, tails removed)

Old Bay seasoning

olive oil

1 red bell pepper, diced

shredded, low-fat Mexican blend cheese

6 low carb, high fiber tortillas

pico de gallo for topping

sour cream for topping

Sautee the pepper and set aside.

Toss shrimp in olive oil and lay out on a foil-covered baking sheet.  Sprinkle Old Bay seasoning over the shrimp until well-coated.

Bake shrimp at 400 for 10 minutes. Set aside.

Sprinkle a tortilla with generous amounts of cheese.  Sprinkle with sauteed pepper.  Arrange shrimp around the tortilla so they are spaced out evenly (~10 per quesadilla)

Sprinkle a bit more cheese over the shrimp and cover with another tortilla.

Cook in the quesadilla maker for 8-10 minutes.  Cut with a pizza cutter, top with sour cream, pico de gallo, and enjoy!
