SOUTHWESTERN SHRIMP QUESADILLAS


Same big, bold flavor with 30% less sodium.
In this fun dish, a Southwestern favorite mingles with Coastal seafood flavor. While a popular party appetizer (think margaritas, queso, Mexican dip), it can easily make a quick, entertaining meal, served with chips and salsa. Mom wears a sombrero.

INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons oil
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 red bell pepper, sliced thinly
2 green onions, sliced
6 flour tortillas (8-inch)
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
1 avocado, sliced
sour cream

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 400° F. Heat oil in large skillet on medium-high. Add shrimp, peppers, green onions and OLD BAY. Cook and stir 4 to 5 minutes or until shrimp turn pink.

Place 3 tortillas on baking sheet. Spread with shrimp mixture. Sprinkle with cheese, then top with second tortilla.

Bake 5 minutes or just until cheese melts. Cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges.

Serve warm with avocado slices and sour cream. Yee-haw.
