Surf Quesadilla


Ingredients:
• 3/4 pound peeled, deveined shrimp, tails removed (36 to 42 per lb.) 
• 3 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
• 1 tablespoon orange juice 
• 1 tablespoon olive oil 
• 1 1/2 cups (5 oz.) shredded sharp cheddar cheese 
• 1 1/2 cups (5 oz.) shredded jack cheese
• 4 large (9 to 10 in.) flour tortillas 
• 3/4 pound zucchini, coarsely shredded
• About 3/4 cup fresh corn kernels (from 1 cob) 
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Directions:
•  Heat grill to high (about 450°) and put a grill pan on it. In a medium bowl, toss shrimp with garlic, salt, spices, orange juice, and oil.
• Divide half of cheeses among tortillas, leaving half of each tortilla bare. Top cheese with zucchini, corn, and green onions. Top vegetables with remaining cheeses.
• Oil grill pan, using tongs and a wad of oiled paper towels. Grill shrimp in pan, turning once, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Coarsely chop shrimp, scatter over cheese on tortillas, and fold tortillas to close.
• Grill quesadillas on cooking grate, turning once with a wide spatula, until cheese melts and tortillas are golden, about 2 minutes per side.

Enjoy!
