Shrimp and Bacon Quesadillas | Diary of a Recipe CollectorIn case you haven’t noticed yet, I could eat shrimp at pretty much every meal.  I love it just about any way it can be prepared.  During the summer, I love to grill shrimp for  this recipe or this one.  It won’t be long until I start putting it in pastas like this one and this one.   And in Louisiana, we love our rice.  So I’ll be making this one soon for my husband.  Oh and I can’t wait to indulge in this one too!  See…I told ya!  I LOVE me some shrimp!  My husband and I often like to repeat the part in the movie Forest Gump where Bubba names all the ways to prepare it!

So I bring you another shrimp recipe that is so very simple!  It’s perfect for a weeknight or to enjoy while sitting on the back porch on the weekend with a margarita if you’d like!
