½ cup finely diced red bell pepper
½ cup finely diced white onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound medium shrimp - peeled, deveined, and cut into 1-inch pieces
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups chicken broth
1 ¾ cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
1 cup sour cream
½ cup fresh green salsa (salsa verde)
8 (6 inch) flour tortillas
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced

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.

  • 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.

Shrimp and Crab Enchiladas image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

4 poblano peppers
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 white onion, chopped
5 to 6 cloves garlic, pressed through garlic press
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken stock
1 to 2 cups heavy cream
1/2 lemon
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper
Red pepper flakes
12 jumbo shrimp
8 ounces crab meat
2 tablespoons lemon juice
20 corn tortillas
Vegetable oil, for frying
Queso fresco or cojita cheese, for topping
Pickled Red Onions, recipe follows, for topping
Crema, for drizzling
Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
1 red onion, sliced
1 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons salt

Steps:

  • For the poblano sauce: Roast the poblanos over a flame until black on all sides (this can also be done under a broiler). Place in a bowl, cover with a lid or plate and set aside for 15 minutes to steam.
  • Begin the base for the sauce by combining the butter, white onions and garlic in a saucepan. Salt well. Cook over medium heat until the onions are softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle with the flour and whisk to combine. Stir in chicken stock, bring to a simmer, stirring, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until thickened. Remove from heat and add to a blender.
  • Peel the blackened skin off the poblanos--this is easier to do under cold running water. Then remove the stems and seeds. Add the flesh to the sauce base in the blender. Blend until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Return the poblano sauce to the saucepan and bring to a simmer. Add the cream, starting with 1 cup--add more if necessary. Simmer for 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and lemon juice
  • For the shrimp and crab: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add a pinch of salt and red pepper flakes. Add the shrimp and cook, tossing, until opaque.
  • Add the crab meat and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring well. Check that the shrimp are cooked through and then finish with squeeze of lemon. Set aside.
  • For the enchiladas: Fry the tortillas for 20 seconds in hot oil to make them pliable. Drain on paper towels. Lay out tortillas and fill with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the seafood filling. Plate 2 enchiladas per serving. Top with poblano sauce and then with queso fresco, Pickled Red Onions and crema. Garnish with cilantro.
  • Combine the red onions, vinegar, sugar and salt in a saucepan and boil for 30 minutes. Drain the onions. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

ONE-PAN SHRIMP ENCHILADAS VERDE



One-Pan Shrimp Enchiladas Verde image

If the only thing holding you back from making enchilada verde tonight is the idea of standing over the countertop, stuffing and rolling tortillas, read on. These layered lasagna-style enchiladas cut your work in half. Instead, put all your effort into making a nearly effortless verde sauce with pan-roasted tomatillos, jalapeño and onion. Once that's done, there is little to do but layer and simmer: The shrimp cooks in minutes in the tomatillo bath. For the best flavor, look for wild-caught Gulf or Argentine shrimp. Then, the only challenge here is deciding how to portion fairly for four people (hint: be generous). If you make this in cast-iron, store any leftovers in glass or plastic in the fridge - the sauce is too acidic to spend a long time in a cast-iron pan - and reheat lightly over a very low flame. (Note, too, that the sauce can be made up to two days ahead, and refrigerated.)

Provided by Sarah Copeland

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons vegetable oil
8 corn tortillas
1 jalapeño, seeds removed
2 pounds tomatillos, husks removed (about 20 tomatillos)
2 small red onions, peeled and sliced into rings
1/2 bunch cilantro, leaves and stems, plus leaves for garnish
1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt
1 pound large shrimp, peeled, deveined and roughly chopped (patted dry if wet)
6 ounces cotija or queso anejo, crumbled (about 1 1/2 cups)
Mexican crema or crème fraîche, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, fry tortillas two at a time, until soft and lightly brown on the edges, about 30 seconds to 1 minute per side, and set aside.
  • Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan, along with jalapeño and tomatillos. Increase the heat to high and cook, covered, until tomatillos and jalapeño are blistered and starting to wilt, about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add about 3/4 of the onions, reserving a few slices for garnish, reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking until the onions are soft and the tomatillos start to slump. Remove from heat to cool slightly.
  • Transfer tomatillos, onions and jalapeño to a blender along with most of the cilantro leaves and stems, and salt. Purée until completely smooth.
  • Add another tablespoon of oil to the skillet and heat over medium heat. Carefully add a third of the sauce (it will sizzle) and lower heat to medium-low. Layer four tortillas, overlapping slightly, along the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle all the shrimp and half the cotija over tortillas. Drizzle in another third of the sauce, followed by the remaining tortillas, sauce and cotija. Cook, covered, over medium-low until shrimp is cooked through and the sauce is thickened and bubbly, and browning a bit around the edges, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat, sprinkle with sliced onions and cilantro and serve with crema or crème fraîche on the side.

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.

Categories     Mexican

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

8 soft taco-size flour tortillas
4 tablespoons soft cream cheese
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 lb cooked baby shrimp
1/2 cup grated Fontina cheese
1/4 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
3 tablespoons finely chopped white onions
3 tablespoons finely chopped red peppers
fresh ground pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon dill weed
1/3 lemon, juice of
1/3 cup half-and-half
3 tablespoons cream cheese
4 medium roma tomatoes, chopped coarsley
1/4 cup white onion, chopped coarsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Filling:
  • Combine sour cream and cream cheese. Beat by hand until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and combine well. Set aside.
  • Sauce:.
  • Heat half and half with cream cheese until melted and smooth (I use the microwave).
  • In a separate small bowl combine tomatoes, onion, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  • To assemble:.
  • Lightly oil a shallow casserole large enough to hold 8 enchiladas in one layer. Pour enough of the cream cheese sauce to just lightly coat the bottom of the pan. On the center of each tortilla, place about 3 Tbls. filling mixture. Roll up and place seam-side down in casserole. Pour remaining cream cheese sauce over the enchiladas. Cover with tomato mixture and sprinkle with fontina cheese. Bake at 475 degrees for 10-12 min., until filling is hot and bubbling.

SHRIMP ENCHILADAS WITH GUAJILLO SALSA



Shrimp Enchiladas with Guajillo Salsa image

Provided by Marcela Valladolid

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
12 ounces raw shrimp, peeled, deveined, tail off and chopped to 1/2-inch pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups Guajillo Salsa, recipe follows
Vegetable oil, for frying
8 corn tortillas
2 1/2 cups shredded Oaxaca cheese (or dry mozzarella)
1/4 cup Mexican crema or softened sour cream, for serving, optional
24 guajillo chiles, stemmed, seeded and deveined
4 cloves garlic, peeled
1/2 medium white onion, peeled
1 vine ripened tomato, boiled 30 seconds, peeled and seeded
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Heat the butter in a heavy medium saute pan over high heat. Add the garlic and saute 10 seconds. Add the shrimp and saute until cooked through, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and let cool slightly.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat the Guajillo Salsa over medium heat until warm.
  • In a separate medium saute pan over medium-high heat, pour enough vegetable oil to come 1-inch up the sides of the pan. Fry the tortillas until slightly golden but still pliable. Then transfer to the pan with the salsa, turning the tortillas in the salsa until fully coated.
  • Transfer the salsa-coated tortillas to a baking sheet (it's kind of messy so doing it on a baking sheet keeps it clean). Add a couple tablespoons of sauteed shrimp and a sprinkle of Oaxaca cheese. Roll up like a cigar and place in an 11-by-7-inch glass baking dish. Repeat with 7 or 8 tortillas, fitting snuggly into the dish.
  • Pour the remaining sauce over the prepared enchiladas (There should be some sauce left in the saucepan to top the enchiladas. If necessary, whisk in 2 tablespoons of water or chicken broth to increase the yield.) Top with the remaining Oaxaca cheese.
  • Bake in the oven until the cheese melts, about 20 minutes. Drizzle with crema and serve.
  • In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, place 4 cups water, the guajillo chilies, garlic cloves and white onion and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer until the chiles are soft and tender, about 25 minutes. Transfer the boiled vegetables, the tomato and 2 cups of the boiling liquid to a large blender and set aside to cool before blending. Process until smooth. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and a pinch of black pepper.
  • In a medium, heavy saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Strain the pureed guajillo salsa into the pan. Add the bay leaf and simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes. Taste for seasoning, adding additional salt and pepper as desired.
  • Reserve for enchiladas and pork.

Provided by gailanng

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 lb peeled devined shrimp
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 small onion, peeled and finely chopped
2 cups shredded green cabbage
1 carrot, peeled and grated
3 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
salt
1 teaspoon dried chipotle powder, divided
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1 dash cayenne pepper
12 (6 inch) corn tortillas (may sub flour tortillas)
2 -3 cups monterey jack cheese
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
3/4 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro (to taste)

Steps:

  • To Make The Enchiladas: Preheat the oven to 375? F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
  • In a large saute pan, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp to the pan in an even layer and let cook without moving, about 1 minute. While cooking, sprinkle salt and 1/2 teaspoon of chipotle powder on top of the shrimp. Then flip the shrimp over and continue to cook until just pink and opaque, 30-60 seconds longer. Remove to a plate with a slotted spoon and set aside. When the shrimp is cool enough to handle, roughly chop into bite sized pieces, if desired. Set aside.
  • Melt the remaining butter in the pan. Add the garlic and onion and cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Add the cabbage, carrot and spinach, as well as the other 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder, plus the oregano, salt, pepper and cayenne to the pan. Stir well and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the spinach just begins to wilt. Add the shrimp back in, stir to combine, then remove pan from heat and set aside.
  • Steam the tortillas.
  • To assemble the enchiladas, place a steamed tortilla on a flat surface. And (working quickly, so that the tortilla doesn't dry out), fill the middle of the tortilla with about 1/3 cup of the shrimp/cabbage filling. Then sprinkle some cheese on top and carefully roll the tortilla and place it seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Drizzle the top with about half of the jalapeno cream sauce, then cover the dish with foil and bake for about 20 minutes, or until tortillas are heated through.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 1/2 pounds tomatillos,* husked, rinsed
4 large fresh poblano chiles,* halved lengthwise, cored, seeded
4 unpeeled garlic cloves
2 cups (packed) coarsely chopped fresh cilantro plus additional for garnish
plus additional for garnish
1 cup (packed) chopped green onions
1 1/4 cups chopped red onion plus thinly sliced red onion rounds for garnish
plus thinly sliced red onion rounds for garnish
48 uncooked medium shrimp, peeled, deveined (about 1 1/2 pounds)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
12 5 1/2-to 6-inch-diameter corn tortillas
12 ounces crumbled Cotija or feta cheese, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler. Line large rimmed baking sheet with foil; brush lightly with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Arrange tomatillos, poblano chiles, cut side down, and garlic cloves on prepared baking sheet. Broil until tomatillos and chiles begin to soften and blacken in several spots, watching closely to prevent burning, about 10 minutes (do not turn). Remove from oven. Let stand until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes.
  • Transfer tomatillos to processor. Peel garlic and add to processor. Peel charred parts of chiles; coarsely chop chiles. Add generous 1/3 cup chopped chiles to processor (reserve remaining chiles for enchilada filling). Add 2 cups cilantro and 1 cup green onions to processor; using on/off turns, blend until coarse puree forms. Season salsa verde to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer 1 1/2 cups salsa verde to shallow bowl.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped red onion and sauté until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle shrimp with salt and pepper. Add shrimp, oregano, cumin, and remaining chopped chiles to skillet; sauté just until shrimp are almost opaque but not completely cooked through, tossing often, 3 to 31/2 minutes. Remove shrimp mixture from heat.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush 15x10x2- inch glass baking dish with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Spread 1/2 cup salsa verde from processor in bottom of dish. Stack tortillas; wrap in damp paper towels and place on plate. Microwave tortillas on high just until soft and pliable, 1 to 11/2 minutes. Working with 1 tortilla at a time, dip tortilla into bowl with 1 1/2 cups salsa verde, turning to coat both sides evenly. Transfer to prepared baking dish. Place 4 shrimp and some onion-chile mixture down center of tortilla, then sprinkle rounded tablespoonful cheese over. Roll up tortilla, enclosing shrimp and onion-chile filling. Place seam side down in dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas, shrimp, onion-chile mixture, and cheese. Spread 2 cups salsa verde from processor over enchiladas.
  • Bake enchiladas just until heated through and cheese melts, about 20 minutes. Using spatula, transfer 2 enchiladas to each of 6 plates. Spoon any remaining salsa verde over; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Drizzle with crema and garnish with red onion slices and additional chopped cilantro, if desired.
  • Available in the produce section of some supermarkets and at Latin markets.

SHRIMP FIESTA ENCHILADAS WITH CREAM SAUCE



Shrimp Fiesta Enchiladas With Cream Sauce image

Shrimp and vegetable medley wrapped in corn tortillias with creamy cheese sauce. I came up with this idea as I wanted to prepare an untraditional Easter dinner. It was hit with my family! It presented beautifully on the table. It was rich enough so that I really didnt need alot of extra dishes to accompany the main entree. I served them with a caesar salad, some spanish rice and black beans. This recipe makes approximately one dozen enchiladas.

ROASTED SHRIMP ENCHILADAS WITH JALAPENO CREAM SAUCE



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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh and high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the taste of your shrimp enchiladas. Look for shrimp that is pink and firm, and avoid any that is gray or mushy. Fresh herbs and spices will also add a lot of flavor to your dish.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important to be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery. Cook the shrimp for just a few minutes per side, or until it is pink and opaque.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in shrimp enchiladas, so it's worth it to use a good quality cheese. Look for a cheese that is flavorful and melty, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or queso Oaxaca.
  • Make sure the enchiladas are tightly rolled: This will help to prevent them from falling apart when you bake them. To tightly roll the enchiladas, place the filling in the center of a tortilla and then fold the sides over the filling. Then, roll the tortilla up tightly, starting from one end and rolling towards the other.
  • Bake the enchiladas until they are golden brown and bubbly: This will ensure that they are cooked through and that the cheese is melted and gooey. Bake the enchiladas for about 20 minutes, or until they are heated through.

Conclusion:

Shrimp enchiladas are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal, or they can be dressed up for a special occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make shrimp enchiladas that are sure to impress your family and friends.
