Chipotle Beer Shrimp Quesadillas

Something I am craving on this hot Sunday is fresh, spicy, shrimp quesadillas. Well that, and a margarita of course. With fresh mangos, lime, tomatoes and avocado the coolness of these summer fruits and vegetables is a delicious balance to the spicy guacamole, shrimp and jack cheese.

Ingredients

Quesadillas:
1/2 pound raw peeled + deveined shrimp
8 ounces of your favorite beer + 2 tablespoons
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 lime, juiced + zested
