1 pkg (6 oz.) salad shrimp

  • 5. Place flap side down onto a lightly greased baking dish cover while you heat up sauce.
  • 6. Pour heated sauce over the enchiladas.

I'm not a fan of seafood, but I really enjoyed these enchiladas. The sauce was so creamy and flavorful that it made up for the seafood.

These enchiladas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra seasoning next time.
