Shrimp are marinated in paprika, red pepper, cumin, and cayenne for a very spicy quesadilla. Oh, and lots of cheese obviously.

1 pound cleaned shrimp

1 Tablespoon olive oil

2 Teaspoons hot paprika

2 Teaspoons cumin

1 Teaspoon cayenne (or adjust to your tastes)

1/2 Teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 jalapeno chopped

1 lime, juice only

16 ounces cheese (I used a mix of cheddar and mozzarella.)

1/4 red onion, sliced (optional)

8 medium-large tortillas

Hot sauce

Sour cream or Greek yogurt

Guacamole

1) Clean and de-vein shrimp.

2) Add cleaned shrimp to a bowl with spices, jalapenos, lime juice, and olive oil. Let marinade for 10 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

3) Add shrimp to a pan over medium-high heat and cook for 5-6 minutes until they are just cooked through.

4) Once the shrimp are cooked, give them a quick chop.

5) Lay tortillas out on a baking sheet. Add some cheese, chopped shrimp, onions, and a bit more cheese.

6) Top with another tortilla and bake for 8-10 minutes. Then flip each quesadilla carefully.

7) Return to oven and bake for another 5 minutes until they are very crispy. Chop and serve with lots of toppings!
