A delicious and easy-to-make quesadilla filled with spicy Cajun shrimp and melted cheese, perfect for weeknight dinners!

  • Total Time: 25

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (Monterey Jack or Cheddar)
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • Sour cream (for serving)
  • Chopped cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Start by seasoning your shrimp with Cajun seasoning. Make sure every shrimp is coated well for maximum flavor.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.
  • Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, place one tortilla and sprinkle half of the cheese on one half of the tortilla.
  • Add half of the cooked shrimp, bell peppers, and green onions on top of the cheese. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.
  • Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  • Slice the quesadillas into wedges and serve with sour cream and a sprinkle of cilantro on top.
