spicy shrimp quesadillas + fresh mango salsa.

As we finished eating these quesadillas, Dan looked at me and said, “Am I beginning to sound like the boy who cried wolf?”

That’s because, for the umpteenth time, he’d just told me this was the best thing he’d ever eaten.

I smiled, because his reaction is one that will never get old. And I have to say, these quesadillas were, in fact, some of the best I’ve ever had. The combination of the spicy shrimp, creamy melted jack cheese, lightly caramelized onions and peppers, and the vibrant mango salsa was perfect, in every sense of the word. There were layers and layers of flavor, all perfectly developed and in sync.

Rebecca Rather has become someone I trust explicitly with savory recipes as well as sweet. Even though she deserves the credit for this fabulous recipe, I know I put my own spin on it, as I never measure ingredients or follow a recipe exactly. I think that’s why I love cooking so much – you find great recipes, and then get the chance to make them your own.
