Shrimp Mango Quesadillas

Difficulty: Easy

If you have ever been to Gecko Grill in Gilbert, chances are you have tried this yummy creation. I love this dish and figured I could give it a whirl at home. Fresh, sweet mango, light shrimp tossed in a honey-butter lime sauce with ooey-gooey cheese, what could be better? Serves 6 and can easily be adapted to serve more.

Ingredients
1 pound raw shrimp, peeled, tails removed and chopped into 1/4″ pieces
1 large, ripe mango, peeled and diced
1 1/2 cups monterey jack cheese, grated
6 10″ flour tortillas
2 TBS honey
3 TBS butter
1 lime
S & P
Sour cream

Directions: In large skillet, melt 1 TBS butter. Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Add to melted butter and cook until bright pink, 2-3 minutes. Remove from pan and drain any juices that were released. In same skillet, melt remaining 2 TBS butter and honey together, cook 2 minutes until thickened. Add shrimp back to pan, squeeze lime over shrimp, toss together and remove from heat.

In a clean preheated skillet, sprinkle one side of the tortilla with 1/4 cup cheese, 1/6 of mango chunks and 1/6 shrimp mixture. Fold over and cook until golden brown on both sides. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Cut into wedges and serve with additional lime wedges and sour cream.
