1 1/4 pounds large or jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons ground cumin
4 pineapple rounds, fresh or canned in juice, about 1-inch thick
8 flour tortillas
1 1/2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

The cooking time for the quesadillas was a little too long. They were a little overcooked.

I'm not a fan of bell peppers, so I omitted them from the recipe. The quesadillas were still delicious.

The quesadillas were a little too spicy for my taste, but the lime sour cream helped to cool them down.

I'm not a big fan of mango, but I really enjoyed the mango dip in this recipe. It was sweet and tangy, and it paired well with the quesadillas.
