You guys know how much I love cooking with shrimp. These quesadillas are the bomb dot com. Okay, did I just say that? I said it in my head and then I typed it. Okay, please don't laugh at me! 🙂
I have shared how to truly relax on a cruise and this strawberry colada drink recipe. It's time to share another recipe inspired by my Mexican Riviera with Princess Cruises.
These are so ridiculously simple to make, you can make it for dinner or make a few for appetizers for friends when they come over. Totally up to you!
This shrimp & green bean curry salad that I had almost every day while on my cruise. This is my second Princess Cruise and I remember this dish from my last cruise to Alaska!
Cut up the veggies, including the mushrooms.
First cook up the mushrooms and then clean the pan…next up the peppers and onions.
All cooked up!
This is how I cook quesadillas! So you have some sealed edges…this was Curtis' genius idea years ago.
Add the cheese and mushrooms.
Then, the onions, peppers and then shrimp and then add more cheese!
I know you want these and I know you want to make them! If you don't like the mushrooms, you can totally omit them!
Serve with a squeeze of lime, sliced avocado, salsa and sour cream and you're golden. So easy to make…let me know if you make them!
