Drain the shrimp. Dry off a bit. Set aside.

Slather 2 of the tortillas with pesto sauce. 

Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion
and garlic and saute until onion is a bit tender. Add
pepper strips and jalapeno. Saute until they are
softened. Remove from pan. Add the shrimp and cook
until they are heated through. Sprinkle with a bit of
salt and pepper, if you wish.

To assemble: On work surface, place a slathered
tortilla. Top with half the shrimp. Then top it with
half the onion & pepper mixture and then with 1/2 the
cheese. Top with another tortilla. Finish stuffing all
tortillas.

Preheat George Foreman Grill. When hot, place one of
the quesadillas on the grill. Cook until cheese is
melted and there are nice grill marks on the
quesadilla.

Serve with sour cream and salsa on top (or some
habanero sauce). Alongside, place some rice or refried
beans.

NOTES : Risa's  notes:

* If any of the shrimp have a black line in them,
devein them. If not, don't worry. Just pick out the
pieces of bright orange that is from their digestive
tract.
