Cooking spray
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
1/3 cup roasted red peppers, chopped
1/4 cup scallions, chopped
1/2 cup light sour cream
2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest
2 teaspoons garlic powder

Place shrimp on the hot pan and cook 2 minutes per side, until bright pink and cooked through. Place pineapple on grill next to shrimp and cook 2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove shrimp and pineapple from grill and cut both into 1-inch chunks.

Overall, I thought these quesadillas were pretty good. They were easy to make and the flavors were nice. I would definitely make them again.

The quesadillas were good, but the mango dip was a little too sweet for me. I think I would have preferred a more savory dip, like a guacamole or a salsa.

These quesadillas were a little too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a medium salsa. Next time I'll use a mild salsa or maybe even just some diced tomatoes.

I love the combination of sweet and savory in these quesadillas. The mango dip is a perfect complement to the spicy chicken and cheese.

I wasn't a huge fan of these quesadillas. I found them to be a little bland and the mango dip was too sweet for my taste.

These quesadillas were easy to make and turned out great! I used a rotisserie chicken for the filling, which made it even easier. The lime sour cream and mango dip were also delicious.

I've made these quesadillas several times now, and they're always a crowd-pleaser. The flavors are so well-balanced, and the mango dip is to die for.
