Shrimp Quesadillas

Quick and Yummy Eats!

One of the quickest, easiest, and yummiest foods to make is Quesadillas. When I am in a rush, and I don't want to hit up a drive thru fast food joint, I always turn to my trusted Quesadilla. Today I decided to add shrimp, but this is just as good with all veggies.

Start with fresh veggies, I used celery, green onion and bell peppers. You can mix your veggies, go with what you like. Mushrooms would be a really tasty addition. 

I then made up a quick seasoning blend and seasoned my shrimp with half the mixture and my veggies with the other half. 

Doesn't this look so yummy! Juicy shrimp, fresh mozzarella and sauteed veggies, you can 't go wrong with this meal. 

A quick bake in the oven, or browned in a skillet, slice it up like a pizza and garnish with sour cream, avocados and tomatoes and enjoy!
