Shrimp Enchiladas Recipe

Mexican food is always a good choice for an easy weeknight meal the whole family will enjoy. These Shrimp Enchiladas are spicy, cheesy, and delicious.

Cheesy, spicy and delicious Shrimp Enchiladas

If I lived near the coast I think I’d cook shrimp nearly everyday. Not only do I love how they taste and how versatile they are, I love that they only need a few minutes to cook.

Cheesy, spicy, and delicous Shrimp Enchiladas

A hefty amount of cheese and some sour cream give these Shrimp Enchiladas a rich creaminess. A packet of taco seasoning for flavor and store-bought enchilada sauce really help cut down on prep time. I add some corn, a can of green chilies and red bell pepper to the filling along with onion and garlic.

Be sure not to overcook the shrimp. If anything you want to undercook them some since they will be in the oven for 30 minutes.

If you like fresh cilantro, sprinkle some on top just before serving. And be sure to add some chips and Fire-Roasted Salsa! And maybe even a Margarita.
