Picture this: a shrimp, minding its own business, swimming along, dreaming of maybe one day meeting a nice lemon wedge. Meanwhile, in a completely different aisle of the grocery store, a bag of Quest Spicy Queso Tortilla Protein Chips is plotting something big. Fate, as it tends to do, brings them together. Crushed, coated, baked golden, and finished with hot peppers, green onion, and a side of queso for dunking. It’s the protein plot-twist nobody saw coming. But everybody’s glad it did.

Spicy Queso Shrimp
NUTRITIONAL INFO
SPICY QUESO CRUSTED SHRIMP
Yields: 4 servings | Serving Size: about 4-5 shrimp
Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the chips into a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Transfer the crumbs to a shallow bowl.
In a second shallow bowl, add the whisked egg and place the flour in a third shallow bowl.
Coat each shrimp in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip the floured shrimp into the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly in the chip crumbs, pressing gently so the crumbs adhere.
Arrange the coated shrimp on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining shrimp.
Bake for 7–9 minutes, or until the shrimp are cooked through and golden brown. Garnish with hot peppers and green onion and serve with your favorite queso.
