Waborita and Cabo Wabo Shrimp Quesadillas

Happy Cinco de Mayo to everyone!  I hope you are getting ready to enjoy this Saturday and weekend...responsibly of course.

In keeping with my Sammy Hagar Cabo Wabo theme this week, I tried out another drink and meal.  The Waborita was so beautifully photographed in his cookbook that I had to try it out (plus it matched my outdoor charger plates perfectly).  My husband says I need to change my blog site name to "Designer Chef", because I obsess over colors matching my food stories.


I had some leftover shrimp from my Sammy's Wabo Shrimp so I thought it would make the perfect compliment to a quesadilla.  I cut up the shrimp into small bites and seared them with a few pieces of diced leftover bacon from breakfast.  Included with that I added some pepper jack shredded cheese and a little salsa.  The shrimp and bacon combination flavor took me right back to one of my favorite meals I used to have in Pasadena, CA at "La Nueva Posada" restaurant.  Wow! One of the best quesadillas I have ever had!

2 ounces premium tequila preferably a blanco
1 ounce Cointreau
1 ounce lime juice, plus a little more for the rim of the glass
Salt
A splash of Curacao liqueur

Mix all of the ingredients except for the salt and curacao in a cocktail shaker filled with ice.  Rub lime juice over half the rim of a glass and turn the glass upside down into salt, so that the salt sticks.  Shake and strain into the glass.  Add the splash of curacao, and watch that drink turn a pretty ocean blue.

** Blogger's Warning - Do not plan on leaving the house after one of these Waboritas...and definitely don't drink more than one.  They are a very pretty drink, but also very potent!  Prepare for a nap instead.  Enjoy responsibly and sleep tight...

I thought it would be a perfect time to bring out the patio furniture and enjoy my quesadilla in the beautiful sunny afternoon.  It is May after all and beautiful springtime, right?  The next morning...this happens.  My life!
