Shrimp Enchiladas!

Last night we tried a new recipe...shrimp enchiladas!  We found the recipe at allrecipes and tweaked it a bit!  We really liked them!  It uses salsa, which we liked, but we may try enchilada red sauce next time!  I also didn't take photos....sorry!  Here is the recipe with our tweaks! :)

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ground cumin
  • cayenne red pepper
  • chili powder
  • season salt
  • 16 large shrimp, peeled and deveined, without tails
  • 4 (8 inch) flour tortillas
  • 3/4 cup shredded Cheddar and Monterey cheese blend
  • 2 cups fresh salsa
 Directions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 4 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, ginger, ground cumin, cayenne red pepper, chili powder, season salt, and shrimp. Coat shrimp well with mixture, and marinate 2 hours.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  3. Spray a 9 inch glass pie dish with non-stick cooking spray. Fill flour tortillas with marinated shrimp, cheese blend and salsa. Fold tortillas into a roll and place in the greased pie dish. Spread a thin layer of salsa on top of the tortillas.
  4. Bake in a preheated oven for 15 minutes.  Bring them out and top with cheese.
  5. Bake 5 minutes or longer, until shrimp is pink.  Serve with side dish (we had Mexican rice) and enjoy :)
