Add Monterey Jack cheese, reduce heat to medium, and stir until cheese is melted and mixed in with shrimp and vegetables. Remove from heat.

QUICK SPECIAL QUESADILLA

Steps:

• Prepare an egg wash by mixing 1 egg with 2 tablespoons of water. Set aside.
• Take 1 uncooked tortilla and add approximately 1/4 cup of the shredded cheese (more if you want it to be cheesier).
• Fold tortilla in half.
• Apply egg wash to the inside edge of the quesadilla.
• Use your thumb to squeeze the quesadilla shut along the edges.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. The oil should be approximately 1/2 inch deep in the skillet.
• Once the oil is hot carefully place the quesadilla into the oil. It should begin to lightly bubble as soon as it's place inside the oil. If it doesn't, the oil probably isn't hot enough.
• After 20-30 seconds flip the quesadilla over. The cooked side should be a golden brown.
• After 20-30 seconds remove the quesadilla and place on a plate with 2-3 paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
• Serve hot.
• Can be cut into halves or quarters if serving as appetizers.
