Time 1h5m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 fresh jalapeno peppers, stems removed
1 ½ pounds fresh tomatillos, husks removed
3 green onions
1 small onion, quartered
1 bunch fresh cilantro, stems trimmed
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup chicken broth
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound frozen fully cooked salad shrimp, thawed
1 (9 ounce) bag baby spinach leaves
2 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided
10 (6 inch) corn tortillas
8 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese
½ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon green pepper sauce (e.g., Tabasco®)

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly oil a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Place jalapeno peppers, tomatillos, green onions, quartered onion, and cilantro in a food processor. Pulse until mixture is coarsely chopped, about 8 pulses. Pour mixture into a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer; cook about 5 minutes. Stir in cream and chicken broth; season with salt and pepper. Return to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
  • Place shrimp and spinach in a skillet over medium heat. Cover tightly and cook until spinach wilts and shrimp are heated through, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Wipe skillet dry and pour in 1 teaspoon of the oil; heat oil over medium heat. Place a tortilla in skillet about 10 seconds; turn and heat on second side about 5 seconds to soften for easier handling. Fill tortilla with a tablespoon of the shrimp and spinach mixture and about a tablespoon of shredded cheese. Repeat with each tortilla adding more oil to the skillet as needed. Place filled tortillas snugly in prepared baking dish.
  • Pour sauce over tortillas and sprinkle with remaining grated cheese and any remaining filling. Top with dollops of sour cream and some green pepper sauce, if desired.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my enchiladas didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The shrimp were overcooked and the sauce was too thin.

The enchiladas were a bit bland. I think I'll add more spices next time.

The shrimp enchiladas suizas were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best enchiladas he's ever had.
