SHRIMP AND AVOCADO QUESADILLAS
A light meal for the summer heat. Great as an appetizer if divided. Presentation/ serving changes around our house. If serving as a meal, I generally leave the shrimp on top. If serving as an appetizer, I tend to cut the shrimp in half and tuck into the tortilla and then cut the tortilla into 2-4 smaller pieces. If cumin seeds are not available at your local carneceria, ground cumin can be substituted- adjust to your preference.

- Prepare the avocado cilantro cream. In a food processor or with an immersion blender, combine the garlic, yogurt, avocado, cilantro, lime zest and juice, and mix until well blended. Cover and refrigerate until ready to eat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime zest and juice, garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Add the shrimp and jalapeno pepper and toss to combine.
- Heat a large non stick skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp mixture and stir fry until the shrimp is completely pink and cooked through. If there is a lot of liquid in the pan at this point, drain the liquid and return the pan to the heat. Add the corn and black beans and stir to combine with the shrimp. Heat through.
- Prepare the quesadillas: on half of each tortilla, sprinkle some shredded cheese, then spread a layer of the shrimp filling on top and cover with some more cheese. Fold the other half of the tortilla over top of the filling. Dry fry the quesadillas in a non-stick skillet over medium heat (if using the same skillet, wipe it clean first), flipping them once, until the tortillas are lightly browned and crispy and the cheese is melted.

- For the shrimp salsa: In a medium bowl, stir together the onion, lime juice, and 1⁄4 teaspoon salt. Let it sit for 5 minutes. Add the shrimp, tomato, jalapeño, and cilantro. Mix well. Measure out 1 cup of the shrimp salsa for the quesadillas and drain it well to prevent the quesadillas from getting soggy.
- Halve the avocados lengthwise. Remove the pits and use a large spoon to scoop out the flesh from the skins in one piece. Place one half on each of 4 plates and top each with a pinch of salt and 1⁄3 cup of the remaining shrimp salsa.
- For the quesadillas: Heat a skillet over high heat. Spray it with oil. Place 1 tortilla in the hot skillet and mound 1⁄3 cup cheese in the center, leaving about 1 inch around the edges. Add 1⁄4 cup of the reserved drained shrimp salsa and top with another tortilla. Cook until the tortilla is golden brown on the edges and the cheese is fully melted, 11⁄2 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Serve hot, garnished with the cilantro and divided among the plates that have the stuffed avocados on the side.
