Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

cooking spray
2 tablespoons butter
½ cup finely diced red bell pepper
½ cup finely diced white onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound medium shrimp - peeled, deveined, and cut into 1-inch pieces
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups chicken broth
1 ¾ cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
1 cup sour cream
½ cup fresh green salsa (salsa verde)
8 (6 inch) flour tortillas
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute bell pepper and onion until slightly soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Transfer mixture to a bowl.
  • Add shrimp to the skillet and cook until starting to turn pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Add to vegetable mixture and stir in cilantro, lime juice, chili powder, and salt.
  • Melt butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook, 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly add chicken broth and cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and stir in 1 1/2 cups Monterey Jack cheese until melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream and salsa.
  • Stir 1 cup of cheese sauce into the shrimp mixture.
  • Fill 1 tortilla with 1/3 cup of the shrimp mixture. Roll tightly and place seam-side down into the prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas; pour remaining sauce over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, until the tops are golden brown, about 35 minutes. Sprinkle jalapeno over the top, followed by remaining Monterey Jack cheese. Return to the oven and continue baking until melted, about 5 minutes more.
  • Remove from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh crab and rock shrimp. If using frozen seafood, thaw it completely before using.
  • Be sure to cook the seafood thoroughly before adding it to the enchiladas. This will help to prevent any foodborne illness.
  • Use a variety of cheeses in the enchilada filling. This will add flavor and richness to the dish.
  • Don't overfill the enchiladas, or they will be difficult to roll and may break apart.
  • Top the enchiladas with a generous amount of cheese before baking. This will help to create a golden brown crust.
  • Serve the enchiladas immediately with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
  • To make the creamy sauce, use a whisk to combine the cream, corn starch, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth. Then, bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
