1 lb medium size fresh shrimp
1/2 c sweet red pepper
1/2 c minced onion
1 anaheim pepper, seeded and diced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp ground red pepper

1/2 c sour cream
1 c green onions, chopped, divided
1/4 c butter, melted
2 medium tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped, divided
12 flour tortillas (8 inch)

Steps:

  • 1. Peel and devein the shrimp. Set aside and keep cold.
  • 2. Saute the sweet red pepper and the next 8 ingredients in 1/4 cup butter in a large saucepan over medium heat until tender. Add the half and half; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, and simmer, uncovered, for 3 minutes. Add 1 cup of the cheese, stirring until the cheese melts. Remove from the heat, stir in the sour cream. Set aside.
  • 3. Saute the reserved shrimp and 1/2 cup green onions in 1/4 cup butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the shrimp turn pink and the green onions are tender. Stir in half of the chopped tomato and half of the reserved cheese sauce. Remove from heat.
  • 4. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the shrimp mixture onto each tortilla. Roll up the tortillas tightly, and place, seam side down, in a lightly greased 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish.
  • 5. Pour the remaining cheese sauce over the tortillas. Cover and bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 cups of cheese, 1/2 cup green onions, and remaining chopped tomatoes. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Prep the shrimp beforehand: Devein and clean the shrimp before cooking to save time during the assembly process.
  • Use a large skillet: A large skillet will ensure that the shrimp are cooked evenly and prevent overcrowding.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cook quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking.
  • Make sure the tortillas are pliable: If the tortillas are too dry, they will crack when you roll them up. Heat them in the microwave or wrap them in a damp paper towel to soften them.
  • Use a flavorful cheese blend: A combination of cheeses, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, and queso fresco, will give the enchiladas a rich and creamy flavor.
  • Don't skimp on the sauce: The sauce is what brings the enchiladas together, so make sure to use a flavorful and creamy sauce.
  • Top with your favorite toppings: After the enchiladas are baked, top them with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or pico de gallo.

Shrimp enchiladas con queso are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion.
