Forget fancy dinners, these Cheesy Shrimp and Crab Quesadillas are the real treasure! They're perfect for a lazy weeknight or a fun get-together with your mates. Imagine: melty cheese, plump shrimp, and delicious crab all gettin' down in a crispy tortilla basically a flavor explosion in your mouth! Sooo you better try these!Ingredients:- 1/2 lb cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 oz lump crab meat
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and diced (optional, for a little kick)
- 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 large flour tortillas
- Butter or cooking spray for cooking
Instructions:- In a large bowl, mix together the cooked shrimp, crab meat, cream cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, cheddar cheese, green onions, jalapeno (if using), Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is well combined and the mixture is nice and creamy.
- Lay one flour tortilla on a flat surface and spread about 1/2 cup of the cheesy seafood mixture over half of the tortilla, leaving a little space around the edges.
- Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly butter or spray the surface with cooking spray.
- Carefully place the quesadilla in the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted and oozing out.
- Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling, cooking the quesadillas in batches if needed.
- Once they're all cooked, let the quesadillas cool slightly, then slice them into wedges using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife.
- Serve these Cheesy Shrimp and Crab Quesadillas hot, with your favorite toppings like salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or hot sauce on the side. A crisp green salad or a refreshing margarita would also pair perfectly!
