Time 1h40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

cooking spray
2 tablespoons butter
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.
  • Add shrimp to the skillet and cook until starting to turn pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Add to vegetable mixture and stir in cilantro, lime juice, chili powder, and salt.
  • 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.

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.

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.

ENCHILADA'S WITH FIESTA CREAM SAUCE



Enchilada's With Fiesta Cream Sauce image

Awesome chicken enchiladas that my entire family loves. Great flavor and easy to prepare. I usually serve with a side salad or Spanish rice. Although verde sauce on it's own has some heat it is very mild when prepared with chicken in this dish.

ROASTED SHRIMP ENCHILADAS WITH JALAPENO CREAM SAUCE RECIPE - (4.1/5)



Roasted Shrimp Enchiladas with Jalapeno Cream Sauce Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by Taraespo

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, diced
2 cups shredded green cabbage
1 carrot, peeled and grated
3 cups baby spinach
2 tablespoons chipotle pepper, in adobo sauce
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
12 (6-inch) corn tortillas, warmed
2 cups Monterey Jack cheese
Jalapeno Cream sauce
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup sour cream
1-2 jalapeños, seeded and minced
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place 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 oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Lightly oil a 9×13 baking dish or coat with nonstick spray. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet. Add garlic and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions become translucent, about 5 minutes. Add cabbage, carrot, spinach, chipotle pepper, oregano and cayenne. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach just begins to wilt, about 1-2 minutes. Add shrimp and gently toss to combine. To make the sauce, melt butter in a large saucepan. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in chicken stock and cook, whisking constantly, until incorporated, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in sour cream. Add jalapeños and garlic powder and simmer until the sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro. To assemble the enchiladas, lay 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. I served with a light salad - baby greens, lots of cilantro, tomatoes and dressed it with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will save you time and hassle while you're cooking.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better your enchiladas will taste. If possible, use fresh shrimp, vegetables, and herbs.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality enchilada sauce: The enchilada sauce is a key component of this dish, so be sure to use a good quality sauce that you enjoy. If you have time, you can make your own enchilada sauce from scratch.
  • Don't overfill the enchiladas: When you're filling the enchiladas, be careful not to overfill them. Overstuffed enchiladas will be difficult to roll and will fall apart easily.
  • Bake the enchiladas until they're bubbly and golden brown: Bake the enchiladas until they're bubbly and golden brown. This will ensure that they're cooked through and that the cheese is melted and gooey.

Conclusion:

Shrimp Fiesta Enchiladas with Cream Sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With their creamy sauce, flavorful shrimp, and crispy tortillas, these enchiladas are sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try!
