Directions

  1. 1
    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season shrimp with salt and pepper.
  2. 2
    Add shrimp to hot skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until no longer pink.
  3. 3
    Remove shrimp from pan and set aside on a cutting board to cool.
  4. 4
    In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and cilantro with a spoon until evenly combined. If you don't like cilantro, substitute chopped green onion instead.
  5. 5
    Chop cooled shrimp into small pieces.
  6. 6
    Heat a large skillet over medium heat. (I use the same on the shrimp was cooked in and wipe it out before reusing.)
  7. 7
    Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on one side of a tortilla.
  8. 8
    Place the tortilla in the skillet buttered side down.
  9. 9
    Carefully spread 1/4 of the cream cheese mixture over half of the tortilla. Top the cheese mixture with 1/4 cup of shrimp and 1/4 cup of mango. Using a spatula, fold the tortilla in half, over the filing. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until tortilla is golden brown and the filling is gooey.
  10. 10
    Remove your quesadilla from the skillet, and cut it into 4 or 8 wedges. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

    Serve immediately.
