Best 5 Pineapple Shrimp Enchiladas Recipes

PINEAPPLE-SHRIMP ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
• Heat oil over medium to medium-high heat in a large, nonstick skillet until hot. Add onion and cook until it begins to caramelize and become tender, 3 to 5 minutes; reduce the temperature if it's cooking too quickly. Add chipotle pepper in adobo, garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and oregano. Reduce heat if needed and stir for 1 more minute until seasonings are fragrant.
• Add tomato sauce, pineapple chunks, 1 tablespoon pineapple juice, and spinach. Simmer over low heat, stirring frequently, until spinach is wilted. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Adjust other seasonings to your preference.
• Spread 1/2 to 1 cup of the sauce in a thin layer all over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
• Add raw shrimp to the remaining sauce. Simmer until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, about 3 minutes.
• Lay a tortilla on a baking sheet and fill with the pineapple-shrimp filling. Roll up carefully and set into the baking dish, seam-side down. Finish filling remaining tortillas and arranging in the baking dish, reserving about 3/4 cup of filling. Spread the remaining filling over the enchiladas and sprinkle evenly with Cheddar cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until sauce is bubbly and cheese is melted, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to sit for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.

CREAMY SHRIMP ENCHILADAS

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.

• On a large plate, pour the red sauce over the shrimp and set aside.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Cook the onions and bell peppers over high heat until they start to get nicely browned.
• Stir them after a minute or so, then let them sit on medium-high heat until they're nice and brown.
• Add the pineapple and cook over medium-high heat until they start to get brown/black. Remove from skillet and set aside.
• Add the shrimp and cook, stirring only occasionally, until the shrimp are opaque. Add in a little water if the sauce gets dry. Remove from the skillet and chop the shrimp into bite-size pieces.
• In a clean skillet, heat some butter. Place a tortilla in the skillet, then layer on the ingredients: cheese, vegetables and shrimp. Top with a little more cheese and a second tortilla. Cook on both sides, adding butter before flipping to the other side so the tortilla isn't overly dry. Remove from the skillet and slice into wedges. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas and filling ingredients.
• Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and slice it into 4 wedges using a large pizza cutter.
• Serve the quesadilla with pico de gallo, guacamole and sour cream.
