Beach Town Shrimp and Mango Quesadillas

Beach Town Shrimp and Mango Quesadillas



This was a fun recipe we created for an interview we did with Shari Rowe on Feed the Band. Her being from Arizona, combined with her new hit single “Beach Town” led us to developing this recipe. This is a great one for parties because you can do 3/4 of it before and then finish it on the grill when your guest arrive. This has alway been a party favorite around the ranch. I know it will be a hit at your next get together. Check out our interview with Shari Rowe by clicking here.
