I'm allergic to shrimp. Can I use another type of seafood in this recipe?

These enchiladas were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I think next time I'll use a milder pepper.

I'm not a fan of shrimp, but I loved these enchiladas. The poblano peppers and cheese were a great combination.

These enchiladas were easy to make and turned out great. I used a store-bought enchilada sauce, but I think it would be even better with a homemade sauce.

I wasn't sure how the poblano peppers would taste in this dish, but I was pleasantly surprised. They added a nice depth of flavor without being too spicy.

These poblano shrimp enchiladas were a hit with my family! The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the poblano peppers added a great smoky flavor. I will definitely be making these again.
