Jerk Shrimp and Pineapple Salsa Quesadillas with Pina Colada Guacamole

Very often what works in tacos also works in quesadillas and I could not help but think of how good the
grilled jerk shrimp
and
grilled pineapple salsa
combo would be all smothered in melted cheese and wrapped in a toasted tortilla! I figured that I would leave it at the nice and simple combo of the spicy jerk shrimp and sweet pineapple salsa along with plenty of melted monterey jack cheese for the filling and that I would serve the quesadillas along with some pina colada guacamole and pina colada crema for dipping or topping. When you have all of the components made ahead of time these quesadillas only take a few minutes to make an they are so unbelievably good! Once again the spicy jerk shrimp and sweet and juicy pineapple salsa work magically well together only getting better with all of the melted cheese! The cool and creamy guacamole and crema play a brilliant counter point to both both the shrimp and salsa really bringing it all home!

It looks a lot like a pizza both when it is all assembled and open and after it is cooked and sliced!
