Shrimp Enchiladas Verde on Yahoo! Food

Definitely a keeper!

patrisk2007 - August 14, 2007 02:28:38 PM PST

This recipe was delicious and easy! It was a hit with the whole family and my kids requested that it become a regular household meal. I served it with a side of homemade Mexican rice. The only thing that I would change to make it even better would be to use 18 corn tortillas instead of 12 (so that you end up with a middle layer of tortillas) and to spread the filling between the two inner layers. This would give the enchiladas a little more texture and support for the filling. A spoonful of red salsa on each serving would also add more color and additional flavor if desired.

EXCELLENT

My honey and I really enjoy this recipe. I served it with Spanish Rice and Black Beans. I also top the enchiladas with sour cream and salsa. Very Good, I agree with one of the previous reviews, If you use 18 corn tortilla, rather than the 12 the recipe call for it comes out alot better!!

ENJOY

Use mashed pinto beans instead of refried

tennischica - August 15, 2007 12:07:53 PM PST

I am going to try this recipe out tonight, but I wanted to mention that if you buy pinto beans, just mash them instead of getting refried beans.
Less sodium and calories that way.

GREAT

Sexy Tiger - January 17, 2008 11:56:28 AM PST

I loved this recipe. I know it add a few extra calories, but sour cream on top added more flavor. Also I added a little taco seasoning the second time for more of the mexican flavor.

I enjoyed this recipe. I used 18 corn tortillas instead of 12. I also topped it with sour cream, fresh diced tomatoes and green onions. I had to take some to work for lunch! The best enchiladas I tasted!! Thanks for the recipe.

This recipe is a keeper

Adriana M - November 5, 2007 03:14:51 PM PST

This dish was very easy to make and delicious. I would add some more shrimp because you really couldn\'t taste it. Next time I\'ll try rolling the tortillas stuffed with the shrimp instead of layering.
Nice presentation also !!!

Everybody Loved It!!!

ballabuilders - September 11, 2007 07:22:11 AM PST

I took a chance and tried this for the first time with dinner guests. Everyone loved it! It was also a perfect dish for one of my "dieting" guests. This is a recipe that I will keep for a long time. I also plan to try it using chicken instead of shrimp.

Quick and fantastic

Megan G - August 26, 2007 04:07:07 PM PST

This recipe is so simple and fast - and so delicious! I also added more corn into the recipe, and cut down the number of tortillas (I didn\'t have enough tortillas left to use as many as the recipe called for) - I was worried that less tortillas might mean that it would turn out soggy, but no! It took me less than 10 minutes to prep. Also is still good when reheated.

Yummy variations

Sk8n Chef - April 23, 2008 11:59:04 AM PST

This would also work well with a firm white fish (such as cod) or even scallops for a nice variation for those who are watching their cholesterol.

Easy and Awesome

Daniel K - January 8, 2008 03:59:13 PM PST

I have made this dish several times for my friends and family. I would agree with sever of the reviews in adding my tortillas and a little more sauce. Also let it sit for 5-10 minutes afte you pull it out of the oven. This allows the sauce to set a little and helps with presentation. I also added diced bell peppers and onion to the sauce mix.

New way to use chili beans

william t - April 16, 2008 07:35:40 AM PST

i was putting this together and did not have a can of refried beans, so i used a can of ranch style beans, i drained the beans and placed in blender ,blended until they were smooth,and use this for the bean filler, you can also use a can of chili beans, once you try this you will never use refried beans again.. be sure and drain the beans before blending....

jillb126 - November 1, 2007 03:41:38 PM PST

This dish is very easy, economical and tasty. A big hit. We will certainly be making this a lot more. I would agree with others here that you should serve it with mexican rice and / or a salad.

Shrimp Enchiladas Verde with a twist

bigskyguy46 - November 29, 2007 01:15:18 PM PST

After trying the Shrimp Enchiladas Verde last night I thought I would say a few words. Being born and living in the Southwest I\'m very critical of Mexican recipes.I\'m very partial to Mexican border town inspired foods.There is a huge difference between border food and Interior Mexican food i.e.Mexico City.v.s.Nogales Sonora.
I found the flavor of this recipe to be very good.I did make a couple of small changes.I added onion (both white and scallions) plus about 1 halve tsp.chopped jallepeno\'s for spice to the shrimp mixture.I\' m also not a fan of corn so I left it out.I also used fresh cooked Jumbo shrimp from the butcher at the grocery.
In preperation I used Corn Tortillas.In a skillet pour about 1 inch of oil.Heat to med high.In a large saucepan pour two cans of green enchilada sauce keep on low heat.Using tongs,run each tortilla through the hot oil very briefly.Shake oil off then dip into the green sauce then into the baking dish.Following the remaining directions.

The dish needs to sit and settle for approx. 20 to 30 mins.before serving. Otherwise it\'s very soupy.I think the next time I\'ll try rolling them in the traditional fashion.

Fast and Easy =).

jg - April 7, 2008 01:26:05 PM PST

This is a great meal to make if you want to make something fast and easy without dining out. At first, I was unsure how it would come out. But surprisigly, it was really good. Like another person who commented, I used whole beans instead of refried beans and served it with fresh tomatoe, avocado, and sour cream. Also, I used on can of diced green chiles instead of two. Instead I used medium salsa verde, to kick up the flavor. I agree with two other comments to use a couple more tortillas and also served it with Mexican rice. =)

Not bad with some spicing up

Liz - April 3, 2008 01:53:46 PM PST

This was super easy to make although I spiced mine up with the following substitutes:
-used the seasoned frozen mexican blend of corn, black beans, etc
-replaced the green chilis with about 2-3oz of diced jalapanos
-used jalapano-spiced refried beans
-used a bottled green enchilada verde
-topped with fat-free sour cream

I did 2 layers of beans and shrimp mix instead of one. Mine also needed an extra 10-15 minutes or so of cooking.

Not very good the next day though...very dry and so share it with others the day you make it!

CAN

dreeves_hampton - January 7, 2008 07:51:24 AM PST

My fiance is a very PICKY EATER, and I got him to try this recipe. It was so easy. I used extra shrimp and 18 tortillas instead of 12 for consistency. He liked it alot. It surprised me. I put sour cream on mine and it tasted fantastic. I reheated it the next day for dinner and it taste just as great. The consistency was actually better. I will try this recipe again. Next time my fiance wants to try it with beef instead. Him and I both agree that it would taste even better.
