Ingredients

Cooking spray
1 1/4 pounds large or jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons ground cumin
4 pineapple rounds, fresh or canned in juice, about 1-inch thick
8 flour tortillas
1 1/2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
1/3 cup roasted red peppers, chopped
1/4 cup scallions, chopped
1/2 cup light sour cream
2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 mango, peeled and seeded
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Heat a stove-top grill pan or griddle to medium-high heat and coat with cooking spray. Season shrimp all over with salt, black pepper and cumin. Place shrimp on the hot pan and cook 2 minutes per side, until bright pink and cooked through. Place pineapple on grill next to shrimp and cook 2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove shrimp and pineapple from grill and cut both into 1-inch chunks.

Arrange 4 tortillas on a flat surface. Top with, shrimp, pineapple, cheese, red peppers, and scallions. Place second tortilla on top. Transfer with hands or with a spatula, to a baking sheet. Place a second baking sheet on top to weigh down the tortillas. Bake for 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and tortillas are golden brown.

While the quesadillas are baking, in a small bowl, using a spoon, combine sour cream, lime zest and garlic. Mix well to combine.

In a food processor, combine mango and lime juice. Puree until smooth and remove from food processor and place in a bowl. Using a rubber spatula, stir in cilantro.

Remove quesadillas from the oven. Cut quesadillas into wedges and serve with lime sour cream and pureed mango on the side.

It's a Keeper
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My sister and I are always searching for new and exciting dishes for our family Sunday dinner...I stumbled upon this one and... everyone thought is was great. We all like spicy so we will probably add some fresh jalopeno to the puree next time...oh...only downside, even with us working together, it took longer than 15 minutes..but it was WELL WORTH ever minute!Read more

Easy and Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for dinner tonight. It was super easy and delicious. My husband said he would order this in a restaurant. I... will definitely make this again. I didn't make the lime sour cream, and I substituted a few ingredients. Can't wait to make it again!Read more

yummy variation
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I used chicken instead of shrimp. recipe was super yummy. I used soft corn tortillas and they didn't harden as desired. ... Next time I'll toss them on the grill to get some crunchiness.Read more
