The combination of shrimp, bacon, and corn is perfect. The bacon adds smokiness and saltiness and the corn adds a little sweetness. I also add some chopped pickled jalapenos for a little heat.

Quesadillas are so versatile and perfect for using up the odds and ends in your refrigerator.

Type Of Shrimp To Use

You can use either fresh shrimp or frozen shrimp. If using frozen shrimp, be sure to thaw them first. Any size of shrimp work. If they are larger, just cut them into pieces. Likewise, any size tortilla can be used.

Shrimp, Bacon, and Corn Quesadillas Recipe Tips

This recipe would be great with chicken if you don’t have shrimp.

I like to fry my quesadillas in butter because I love the flavor, but you could use vegetable oil or olive oil.

The hardest part to making quesadillas is getting the heat just right. You want it hot enought that you have a nice crispy crust, but you don’t want the outside to burn before the cheese inside melts.
