1 pkg (6 oz.) salad shrimp

  • 5. Place flap side down onto a lightly greased baking dish cover while you heat up sauce.
  • 6. Pour heated sauce over the enchiladas.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my enchiladas turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

These enchiladas were a disaster! The sauce was too runny and the seafood was mushy. I would not recommend this recipe.

I thought these enchiladas were just okay. The sauce was a little bland and the seafood was a bit overcooked.
