Grilled Shrimp Quesadillas

8 Colossal Trader Joe's Uncooked Wild Blue Shrimp
1 lime, halved
Freshly ground pepper
1 yellow pepper, diced
1 avocado, sliced
Fresh flour tortillas (Trader Joe's brand found in the bread section)

Thaw shrimp under cold water, place on paper towels to absorb moisture.

Thread on wooden skewers. Sprinkle the juice of one lime over the shrimp and
fresh ground pepper.



Make a 8 inch square of aluminum foil with sides for your grill pan.  Spray with olive oil cooking spray.  Grill diced yellow peppers until soft.  Remove from pan and set aside. 

Grill shrimp about 8 minutes total, 4 minutes on each side.  Take tail off of shrimp. 

Using a large round frying pan, spray one side of tortilla with olive oil spray and place in pan.  Sprinkle with 1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded mexican blend cheese.  Arrange shrimp and yellow pepper on top.  Cover with second tortilla, top sprayed with olive oil. 

Cook on low heat with a cover on until tortilla is light brown, flip carefully and cook the same way until cheese is melted.

Turn out onto cutting board and cut into quarters.  Serve with fresh avocado slices and a dollop of sour cream.
