Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp butter
2 (2 lb) bags frozen raw shrimp, thawed and tails removed (31 to 40 per lb)
1 tbsp finely chopped garlic
salt and pepper
1 lemon, halved
3 chipotle chiles in adobo , plus
1 tbsp adobo sauce
12 (10 inch) flour tortillas
1 lb gouda cheese, shredded

Directions:

In a large, deep skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
Increase the heat to high and cook, stirring often, until the shrimp are just opaque, about 4 minutes. Squeeze the lemon halves over the shrimp.
In a small bowl, mash the chipotles with the adobo sauce. Spread the paste in a thin layer on each tortilla.
Cover half of each tortilla with a single layer of shrimp. Sprinkle the cheese over the shrimp; fold the tortillas in half.
Cook one meal now: In a large nonstick skillet, working in 2 batches, cook 2 quesadillas, cheese side down, over medium-high heat until golden, about 2 minutes on each side. Cut into wedges.
Freeze two meals for later: Wrap each quesadilla in foil and stack 4 each into 2 resealable 1-gallon freezer bags; seal, label and freeze.
