SHRIMP ENCHILADAS RECIPE

These shrimp enchiladas are probably up there in my top 4 favorite shrimp recipes. They are cheesy, flavorful, and totally different from the usual enchilada. Don’t get me wrong, I like the usual enchiladas too. The cheesy sauce and sweet shrimp set this recipe apart though.
