Shrimp, Mozzarella, and Sun-Dried Tomato Quesadillas
"An appetizer for a small crowd (6-8) from "Simply Shrimp" by Rick Rogers. Very easy to prepare. Under the recipe title it says: Quesadillas are certainly Mexican, but they lend themselves to the flavors of other nations, like this Italian "fromaggio-dilla.""
- Ready In:
- 25mins
- Ingredients:
- 5
- Serves:
-
6-8
ingredients
- 8 (8 inch) flour tortillas
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 8 ounces shrimp, cooked, peeled and deveined, medium size
- 1⁄2 cup sun-dried tomato packed in oil, chopped
- 1⁄3 cup fresh basil, chopped, can use 1 tsp. dried oregano as a substitute
directions
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
- In a medium skillet, over medium heat, place 1 tortilla. Sprinkle with 1/4 each of the mozzarella, shrimp, tomatoes, and basil or oregano.
- Cook until the cheese begins to melt and the underside of the tortilla is marked with browned spots, about 1 1/2 minutes.
- Place another tortilla on top and press lightly.
- Turn the quesadilla and continue cooking until the cheese is melted and the second side has the browned spots, about 1 minute.
- Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven.
- Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Cut the quesadillas into wedges (I like to use a pizza cutter) and serve warm.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
