whatcha need:
corn tortillas
your preferred pesto
handful of shrimp
vegan mozzarella or non vegan mozzarella

whatcha do:
start by defrosting your shrimp you are using frozen… peel your shrimp
warm some evoo in a pan then add your shrimp.
cook for 1-2 minutes per side or until they are perfectly pink
remove shrimp from heat and chop to bits
prepare your preferred pesto… if your preferred pesto come in a jar………open the jar (you lazy bum, pesto is NOT that hard to make) anyway….
in the same pan you cooked your shrimp, you might need a tiny drizzle of olive oil, place 1 flowered tortilla in the center with, cover the top evenly with mozzarella
when the cheese starts to melt, sprinkle a few bits of shrimp
take a dab of pesto, spread it all over one time of a corn tortilla(Not the one currently in the pan) and place pesto tortilla, pesto side down, on the other tortilla
its probably time to flip your tort
keep in the pan until you can’t easily separate the tortillas - this means the cheese is nice and melty
remove from heat and plate. I like mine with a lil tabasco and a dollop of salsa :)
