Shrimp Enchiladas

September 6, 2023 by Gina +

Enchiladas and tacos are some of my favorite foods. I also love shrimp so this shrimp enchilada recipe is right up my alley. They are delicious, flavorful, and incredibly easy.

Like most people, our weeknights are busy. Though my kids are still little with no sports, it’s a hectic time finishing work, cleaning up from the day, and getting dinner on the table. Recipes like these shrimp enchiladas are perfect because they only call for 5 ingredients and come together so easily. Cook a frozen bag of roasted peppers (I love the ones from Trader Joe’s), and add some raw cut-up shrimp. Cook then roll into tortillas and top with green enchilada sauce and cheese. Bake, it’s that easy.
