GOURMET SHRIMP ENCHILADAS



Gourmet Shrimp Enchiladas image

This recipe was given to me a few years ago. It is absolutely mouth watering. The fontina cheese is a must, though a little more expensive. I wouldn't recommend trying to make these without it. Light cream cheese and sour cream can be used in place of regular. Enjoy.

Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Shrimp: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh shrimp. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Cook the Shrimp Properly: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a Creamy Sauce: The creamy sauce is what makes this casserole so rich and flavorful. Use a good quality heavy cream or half and half for the best results.
  • Add Vegetables: Feel free to add your favorite vegetables to the casserole, such as broccoli, bell peppers, or mushrooms.
  • Top with Cheese: The fontina cheese adds a delicious flavor and texture to the casserole. You can also use other types of cheese, such as mozzarella or cheddar.
  • Serve Immediately: This casserole is best served immediately after it is made. The shrimp will become tough if the casserole sits for too long.
