Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 12 (21-25 count) shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • Liquid Smoke
  • 4 oz. goat cheese
  • 1/4 cup Jack cheese, grated
  • 1 Tbsp. garlic, minced
  • 2 Tbsp. sour cream
  • 1/4 tsp. dried basil

  • Another 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 4 flour tortillas
  • 1 large avocado, quartered and sliced lengthwise

Method

  • In a small bowl, toss shrimp with just enough liquid smoke to coat each shrimp completely.
  • Allow to marinate for at least 5 minutes.
  • Heat 2 Tbsp. olive oil over medium high heat.
  • Add shrimp, cooking until shrimps just turn pink, about 1 minute on each side. Remove from heat.
  • Combine goat cheese, grated Jack, garlic, sour cream and herbs in a stainless steel bowl. Place bowl over simmering water. Heat to release herb flavors and stir together until smooth. Remove from heat and slather generously over each tortilla.
  • Lay 3 slices of avocado over top of 1/2 of slathered tortilla and place smoked shrimp between each slice. Fold in half.
  • Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add quesadillas and cook two minutes, until browned. Flip and cook an additional two minutes. Cut into thirds and serve immediately.
