Shrimp Melted Cheese Quesadilla

Instructions:

1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp, paprika, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until just pink and opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, melt butter. Add onion, celery, and garlic; sauté until soft and fragrant, about 3–4 minutes.
3. Return shrimp to the skillet, stir to combine, and remove from heat.
4. Lay a tortilla flat. On one half, layer a mix of both cheeses, then spoon on the shrimp mixture. Add a little more cheese on top and fold the tortilla.
5. Heat a clean skillet over medium. Grill the folded quesadilla for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
6. Slice into wedges and garnish with parsley before serving.

Variations:

• Spicy twist: Add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the shrimp mix.
• Creamy addition: Mix in a tablespoon of cream cheese or a dollop of sour cream with the sautéed veggies.
• Seafood swap: Replace shrimp with scallops or lump crab meat for a luxe twist.

Tips:

• Use pre-shredded cheese for convenience, but grating your own melts smoother and tastes fresher.
• Keep the skillet at medium heat to crisp the tortilla without burning before the cheese melts inside.
