Start off slow and add as much or as little as you like to suit your taste.<\/p>\n

8 (6-inch\/15-cm) corn tortillas, homemade (see this page) or store-bought
\n8 ounces (225 g) Oaxaca cheese or Monterey Jack cheese, pulled or cut into thin strips
\n1 tablespoon canola oil
\n1 pound (455 g) small to medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
\nSalt and freshly ground black pepper
\n1 small red onion, thinly sliced
\n1 medium green bell pepper, cored, seeded, and thinly sliced
\n1\/4 cup (60 ml) Maggi sauce<\/p>\n

Preheat a griddle or comal (tortilla griddle) over medium-high heat to get it nice and hot. Reduce the heat under the griddle to low, add a couple of tortillas, and heat them for 15 to 30 seconds on each side, until soft and malleable. Add 1 ounce (28 g) of cheese to one side of each tortilla and fold the empty side over the cheese side to form a quesadilla. Press down on the quesadilla with a metal spatula for the first few seconds so the cheese sticks, then cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until the cheese is completely melted and the tortillas start to get crisp. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and cheese. Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the shrimp and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook until just turning pink on both sides, 2 to 4 minutes, flipping the shrimp halfway through cooking. Remove the shrimp to a bowl. Add the onion and bell pepper to the pan and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes, stirring often. Return the shrimp to the pan, add the Maggi sauce, and toss quickly until incorporated and the shrimp are fully cooked through. To serve, open up a crispy quesadilla and add some shrimp and vegetables. Fold it back over and serve piping hot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
