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.

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 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

4 medium roma tomatoes, chopped coarsley
1/4 cup white onion, chopped coarsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 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.

1/2 Tbsp olive oil ((extra virgin))

1/2 Tbsp garlic ((minced or crushed))
1 4 oz can green chiles ((Ortega brand fire roasted chiles are best - or use 1 diced jalapeno))

QUICK SHRIMP ENCHILADA BAKE



Quick Shrimp Enchilada Bake image

Shrimp enchiladas offer a taste of coastal Mexican cuisine but some versions contain so much cheese, butter and sour cream that they can pack a whopping 50 grams of fat per serving. Our version has vibrant flavor and only half the calories and 6 grams of fat per serving, plus we use precooked peeled shrimp so you can get the dish on your table fast enough for a weeknight supper. The addition of refried beans helps makes these enchiladas an excellent source of fiber as well.

SHRIMP AND CRAB ENCHILADAS



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.

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.

  • Remove the shells and tails from the shrimp and reserve. Rinse the shrimp and pat dry. Cut each one into 3 or 4 bite-size pieces.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the shrimp shells and tails, parsley, 1 of the garlic cloves, bay leaves and ½ teaspoon of the salt. Cover with water, place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer 20 minutes. Strain the broth into a large measuring cup or heat-proof bowl.
  • Combine the tomatoes, remaining garlic, and chile(s) in a medium saucepan. Cover with water, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer uncovered until the tomatoes are thoroughly soft, about 10 minutes.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer the tomatoes and garlic clove to a blender. Add the 4 coarsely chopped scallions; if you have simmered 2 chiles, begin by adding only 1 of them to the blender, then once you taste the finished puree you can decide if you want to add the other. Add ½ teaspoon salt, the grated nutmeg, and 1 cup of the strained shrimp shell broth. Purée until completely smooth, taste and add the other chile if you would like more chile presence and heat (the sauce will become milder as it cooks and other ingredients are added).
