Roasted Shrimp Enchiladas With Jalapeno Cream Sauce image

Taken from the Damn Delicious blog. DH can't get enough of this. He makes himself sick on these when I make them because he can't stop eating them!! Adjust spices if you like it spicier... This is only a medium spice as written. I use flour tortillas instead of corn and never use the cilantro because we don't like it. I also never have leftover sauce - I pour it all on top before putting in the oven.

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 small onion, diced
2 cups shredded green cabbage
1 carrot, peeled and grated
3 cups Baby Spinach
2 tablespoons chipotle peppers, in adobo sauce
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
12 corn tortillas, warmed
2 cups monterey jack cheese
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup sour cream
2 jalapenos, seeded and minced
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the shrimp onto the prepared baking sheet. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt and pepper, to taste, and gently toss to combine.
  • Place into oven and roast just until pink, firm and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool before dicing into bite-size pieces.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Lightly oil a 9x13 baking dish or coat with nonstick spray.
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet. Add the garlic and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions become translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the cabbage, carrot, spinach, chipotle pepper, oregano and cayenne. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach just begins to wilt, about 1-2 minutes. Add the shrimp and gently toss to combine.
  • To make the sauce, melt the butter in a large saucepan. Whisk in the flour until lightly browned, about 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the chicken stock and cook, whisking constantly, until incorporated, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in the sour cream. Add the jalapeños and garlic powder and simmer unitl the sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove from heat and stir in the cilantro.
  • To assemble the enchiladas, lay the tortilla on a flat surface and spoon 1/3 cup of the shrimp mixture in the center; sprinkle with cheese. Roll the tortilla and place seam side down onto prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and shrimp mixture.
  • Pour half of the jalapeño cream sauce evenly over the top. Place into oven and bake, covered, until lightly golden and bubbly, about 20 minutes.
  • Serve immediately with remaining jalapeño cream sauce, garnished with cilantro.
