Crispy Shrimp and Loaded Veggie Quesadillas
Savor the crunch of lightly crisped shrimp paired with a medley of colorful veggies and melted, reduced-fat cheddar cheese nestled between whole wheat tortillas. This balanced quesadilla delivers a delightful combination of textures and flavors that is perfect for any meal of the day.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Shrimp
1 Whole Wheat Tortilla
1/4 cup Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese
1/2 cup Mixed Bell Peppers
1/2 cup Spinach
1/4 cup Red Onion
1 tsp Olive Oil
Seasonings (Salt, Pepper, Paprika) to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the shrimp dry and season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of paprika. For extra crispiness, lightly coat with a sprinkle of panko if desired (optional).
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Sauté the shrimp until they turn pink and slightly crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the mixed bell peppers, spinach, and red onion. Sauté the veggies for 2-3 minutes until they are just tender but still crisp.
Place the whole wheat tortilla on a clean, flat surface. Evenly spread the sautéed veggies over half of the tortilla, then layer the crispy shrimp on top. Sprinkle the reduced-fat cheddar cheese over the shrimp and veggies.
Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling. Place the quesadilla back in the skillet over medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing lightly with a spatula, until the tortilla is golden and the cheese has melted.
Remove from the skillet, slice into wedges, and serve immediately.
