The fairgrounds entrance to the senior center will be closed for the rest of the week, due to road construction. Thank you for your patience.

📣 New Active Seniors Blog is Here! 📣

This week, we’re highlighting an amazing resource available right here at the Klamath Basin Senior Citizens’ Center—SHIBA (Senior Health Insurance Benefits Assistance)! 💜

SHIBA helps seniors and Medicare beneficiaries navigate health insurance questions with free, unbiased guidance and one-on-one support. Whether you’re exploring coverage options, reviewing benefits, or simply looking for answers, SHIBA is here to help you make informed decisions with confidence.

We’re also reminding everyone about two important upcoming events:
🛡️ Elder Abuse Awareness Fair – June 15th
🚗 Hot Rod Hop – June 25th

Both events are great opportunities to connect with the community, learn valuable information, and enjoy time together.

Have you ever used SHIBA or attended one of our community events? Tell us about your experience in the comments! 👇

🥑🦐Avocado and Shrimp Quesadilla with Green Chile Salsa🦐🥑
Ingredients
1 Tbsp. butter, or more if needed
1 Tbsp. olive oil, or more if needed
2 large flour tortillas
1 clove garlic, minced, or equivalent garlic paste
2 Tbsp. roasted green chile salsa (Hatch chile or other), divided, or more to taste
12 (size 31/40) fresh shrimp, peeled, deveined and tails removed*
1 tsp. fresh lime juice, divided1 ripe, Fresh California Avocado, seeded and peeled
2/3 cup shredded or crumbled cheese(s), such as queso fresco, Monterey Jack, Cheddar, queso quesadilla or a blend
Instructions
Use a large skillet, heat butter and oil over medium heat just until the butter melts; remove from heat.
Place each tortilla on a separate plate. Lightly brush a little of the butter-oil mixture onto both sides of the tortillas.
Add garlic and half the salsa to the skillet. When the garlic becomes fragrant, about one minute, add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until opaque and the shrimp starts to turn pink, one to two minutes. Stir in half the lime juice then transfer the shrimp and sauce to a small bowl; keep warm.
Slice half of the avocado and set aside. Coarsely mash the other half of the avocado with the remaining lime juice and salsa; set aside.
On one half of each tortilla, layer some of the cheese, shrimp in sauce, mashed avocado and the remaining cheese. Fold the other half of the tortillas over the fillings.
Carefully wipe out the skillet and heat to medium. If desired, add a little more butter or oil to the skillet. Place quesadillas in the skillet.
Cook on one side for two to three minutes or until the cheese on the bottom is visibly melty. Flip the quesadillas over and continue to cook until the cheese is melted on the other side, one to three minutes longer. Reduce heat if the tortilla begins to char.
Place cooked quesadillas on a serving plate. Cut in half, thirds or quarters and top with the reserved avocado slices.
