Ingredients

Mango Salsa:

2 Mangoes, diced

1 fresh jalapeno chile, stemmed, seeded, and finely diced

1/2 medium-size red onion, diced

1 T. freshly squeezed lime juice

1/4 t. salt

1/4 c. bottled Thai-style chili sauce

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 T. chopped fresh cilantro

Quesadillas Ingredients:

1 pound uncooked large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 t. salt

1/4 t. cayenne pepper

2 T. olive oil

1 medium-size yellow onion, sliced

Dash of Worcestershire sauce

Dash of hot pepper sauce, such as Tabasco

1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch slices

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

8 (8-inch-diameter) flour tortillas

2 c. shredded Monterey Jack Cheese

Directions

To make the Salsa: Combine the mango, jalapeno, onion, lime juice, salt, chili sauce, garlic, and cilantro in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days or until ready to serve.

To make the Quesadillas: Rub the shrimp evenly with salt and cayenne. In a large saute pan, spray with a non-stick cooking spray and set over medium-high heat, saute the shrimp 1 to 3 minutes, until they curl and turn pink. Remove the shrimp from the heat and set aside in a large bowl.

In a separate saute pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce and saute about 5 minutes. Add the bell pepper and continue cooking about 5 minutes longer, until the onions are brown and caramelized. Remove the onion mixture from the heat and stir in salt and pepper to taste.

Coat a griddle or large saute pan with cooking spray or a thin layer of olive oil and place it over medium-high heat. Once the griddle is hot, arrange 2 tortillas in a single layer. Sprinkle 1/2 c. cheese evenly over each. In another large saute pan or if there is room on the griddle, arrange 2 more tortillas and divide the shrimp mixture among them. Once the cheese has melted, flip the cheese tortillas over onto the shrimp tortillas, making 2 quesadillas. If you don't have enough room on the griddle or on the stove top to work with 2 pans simultaneously, wait until the cheese has melted on the first 2 tortillas, top the cheese with the shrimp mixture, and then cover with the other two tortillas. Cook them, flipping occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 5 minutes total. Repeat for the remaining tortillas and filling. Cut the quesadillas into quarters and transfer them to serving plates. Serve immediately with the mango salsa.
