Heat a little bit of oil in a pan until hot.

Add shrimp to the hot pan.

Season shrimp with salt, black pepper, chili lime seasoning, and lemon pepper.

Cook shrimp until they turn from gray to pink, about a couple of minutes.

Check if shrimp is cooked by ensuring the head meets the tail.

Remove shrimp from the pan and cover to keep warm.

Heat the pan again and place a tortilla in it to warm.

Flip the tortilla to cook both sides to avoid sogginess.

Sprinkle cheese on one half of the tortilla.

Add shrimp on top of the cheese, about five shrimp per quesadilla.

Add sriracha for spice if desired.

Fold the tortilla in half to close it.

Cook until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden brown.

Remove from the pan and repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
