Shrimp is the perfect alternative to chicken and beef in quesadillas, cooking up quickly with bell peppers and onions, they make a delicious meal, snack or appetizer. Here at Sizzlefish our wild caught shrimp are sourced off the Gulf of Mexico and arrive in vacuum sealed portions. Each portion contains 8 shrimp. They can be conveniently thawed in the refrigerator overnight before using and they’re ready to cook. The shrimp are already peeled, deveined and tail-free making preparation a breeze. 

Wild caught gulf shrimp are a great source of brain and hearty healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Shrimp are also a terrific source of quality protein with amino acids that support muscle growth. We love these smaller shrimps for tacos, quesadillas, salads and fried shrimp recipes. You can also use our colossal shrimp, just be sure to remove tails and slice them in half before cooking.

Flavors You Can Expect In The Dish!

Before hitting the pan, shrimp is seasoned in a mix of chipotle powder, cumin, garlic and salt. This adds notes of smoky flavor with spicy heat. Submit chili powder for a milder heat. You can also use 2 teaspoons of your favorite taco seasoning. Sliced onions and bell peppers are sautéed until tender giving the quesadillas depth and texture. You can also add sliced mushrooms and zucchini or yellow squash. Shredded Mexican cheese adds smooth creamy texture and holds the quesadilla together. This melty cheese is a blend of cheddar, Monterey and asadero cheeses. You can also use another creamy cheesy like mozzarella, gruyere or chihuahua cheese.
