Instructions
- In a small bowl mix all the spices together and then add about 1 teaspoon or so of the spice mixture to a zip lock bag with the olive oil and the shrimp and let marinade in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes
- Then slice the cucmmber and set aside.
- In a sauté pan on medium heat cook the shrimp about 4 minutes per side or until done - then take off the heat and I cut each shrimp in half vertically to make them thin and easy to eat inside the quesadilla
- Next in a large pan on medium- high heat spray the cooking spray and then add one half of the tortilla and add the cheese, shrimp and the cucumber and then top it with the other tortilla
- Cook each side about 3-4 minutes or until it gets golden brown flipping it with a spatula and then using a pizza cutter make 4 pieces and enjoy!
