The Best Easy Shrimp Enchiladas | Food Wishes

The secret ingredient in these amazingly delicious shrimp enchiladas is a couple cans of lobster bisque. That’s right! By using that as a base for our enchilada sauce, we not only save time, but we get an even deeper, richer shellfish flavor. If you like enchiladas this is a must make. Enjoy!

    Warm tortillas don’t tear. Warming them makes them pliable and less likely to tear and it also gets rid of that raw flour taste. All store bought tortillas need to be heated to sort of finish the cooking process. I’m an old Mexican home cook, so my preference will always be corn tortillas for enchiladas, but otherwise, like all your recipes, they look delicious.

    Yeah, I’ve never had flour tortilla enchilada. The rest of the ingredients sound great though I probably would use Mexican cream instead of sour cream. Crema is a bit more milky and less sour. If someone wants more sour, (American) sour cream will do

    If you lightly oil corn tortillas and heat on both sides in a warm skillet, they will not tear. A shortcut is hitting both sides of each tortilla with a quick shot of cooking spray, stacking them on a plate, cover with a wet paper towel, and microwaving them for 45 seconds.

    MUST TRY THIS! Although with modifications - flour tortillas make it some kind of flauta, not an enchilada. Enchiladas should always be made with corn tortillas and instead of rolling it on the plate, dredge it in the sauce in the pan, then fill it and roll it and repeat until filled. Other than that, it looked perfect!

    I made the full amount of filling and sauce, but prepared only four enchiladas for this single guy. They were delicious, if a little smoky for my taste. I had been confused by the written recipe calling for "extra large (16-20)" shrimp, but that count is actually "extra jumbo." That's definitely the size to use, because with the short sear and bake, they remained tender. But the flour tortillas melted almost as much as the cheese and ended up gluey! I couldn't easily find the dividing line between the first two and ended up cutting into the second one. So it was a bit of a mess on the plate. When I make the next four later this week with the saved sauce, I'll use corn tortillas.
