Mediterranean Shrimp Quesadilla
Description
I was asked to participate in the Red Gold Tomato Bowl 2011. I am on a team with 4 other Wisconsin bloggers trying to beat out Pitt in our own version of the big game! Ths was a recipe I came up with for the contest. I love quesadillas for a game time snack, but this time they have a little twist! This recipe is really easy, and will impress your game day company. Fresh plump shrimp, feta cheese, tomatoes, red onions, and olives make this a quesadilla you will want to make again. If you aren't a seafood fan you could easily sub in chicken or keep it vegetarian!

this was easy and delicious. I substituted goat cheese for the feta cheese and it turned out well.

We made these over the weekend and they are terrific. Watch out though - all that cheese makes them heavier than they look - eat in moderation. Thanks for the terrific post. I'm going to add some pictures!
