- Preheat oven to 450°F. Lightly coat a baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. For the Salsa Verde: Remove papery husks from tomatillos; rinse tomatillos well and place in baking pan. Roast 20 minutes or until skins are blackened and soft. Let cool slightly.
- Place tomatillos in a blender or food processor. Add onion, jalapeño, garlic, cilantro and lime juice. Pulse until chopped. Season with freshly ground pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes or until cooled.
- For the Quesadillas: Sprinkle shrimp with Mexican?lime seasoning; toss to coat. Coat a large nonstick pan with gluten-free nonstick cooking spray and place over medium heat. Add shrimp; cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes per side or until shrimp turn pink. Transfer to a plate; let cool.
- Wipe pan with paper towels. Coat pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place 1 tortilla in pan; cook 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and top with one-fourth of the cheese, 1/4 cup of the tomatoes, 6 shrimp and 2 tablespoons of the Salsa Verde. Top with 1 tortilla, and coat the top with nonstick cooking spray. Cook 2 to 3 minutes; turn. Cook until cheese melts and bottom is toasted, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from pan; keep warm. Repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings. Cut into quarters, and serve.
