Quick, easy, and delish!  Here's dinner in twenty minutes:

What you need:

1 T butter                                                          1 T flour

1 package popcorn shrimp                                  1/2 clove of garlic, crushed

1 7 oz can of salsa verde                                    1 16 oz can fruit cocktail

1 t ginger                                                           1 c milk

salt, pepper, chile powder, cumin                         splash of orange juice

tortillas and cheese for quesadillas 

What you do:

Get frozen popcorn shrimp started in the oven according to package directions.  Melt butter in medium skillet, saute garlic, and add flour.  Let the flour brown just a little bit and then pour in salsa verde.  Keep heat at medium.  Drain juice from fruit cocktail into skillet and set aside the fruit for a side dish.  Add milk, ginger, and a splash of orange juice.  Season with salt and pepper and other spices to taste.  Turn up heat to medium high and let sauce simmer and thicken.  I kind of play with the liquid amounts until I am pleased with the consistency and flavor, orange juice will thin and sweeten the sauce, milk with temper the heat a little.  While sauce is thickening, melt cheese between warm tortillas to make quesadillas.  Serves four.
