Pan-Seared Shrimp Recipe

Pan-fried shrimp quesadillas with manchego cheese
My dad’s entire side of the family lives in Mexico, scattered just about everywhere from tropical Veracruz to west coast Ensenada. My Aunt Lydia lives in Puerto Peñasco, commonly known as Rocky Point, and upon arriving after a long drive from Arizona, she cooked this light and refreshing meal for my sister, dad, and I. I watched her as she prepared the shrimp and was amazed at how easy it was – fresh shrimp lightly pan-seared in melted butter.

After cutting the recipe in half, changing, and adding a few ingredients, I ended up with what I am about to share with you today.
