Used chicken and this recipe turned out just as good. I also used low carb whole grain tortillas and they tasted very nice.

Description
Creamy good shrimp enchiladas thanks to Carman Figueroa of Clyde, NY. She broke ground starting a Mexican Restaurant back in the 1970s. This was my personal favorite, and was so glad she preserved the recipes in a book after the restaurant closed.
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- ¼ cups Finely Chopped Onion
- 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoons Garlic Powder
- 2 cups Salad Shrimp
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Sugar
- 4 Tablespoons Milk
- 28 ounces, fluid Enchilada Sauce
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 10 whole Tortillas
- 1-½ cup Monterey Jack Cheese, Divided
- 4 Tablespoons Green Salsa
Preparation
Filling:
Heat butter in a saucepan, add onion and saute until limp and glossy. Add cornstarch, garlic powder, mix well. Add shrimp and cook 5 minutes. Add salt, sugar and milk. Add 1 cup cheese, mix well. Cook until thickened. Remove from heat.
Assembling:
Pour 1 cup enchilada sauce in a casserole dish. Warm oil in a frying pan. Dip each tortilla in sauce then sear in hot oil briefly. Tortilla should be limp. Prepare 4 tortillas at a time so they don’t dry up. Divide filling among the tortillas, roll up, seam side down in dish. Pour the rest of the sauce over the enchiladas. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
Bake 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes until bubbly. Serve with green salsa.

I just made this using chicken and it came out delicious! It’s my first time, so I was concerned about frying the tortillas but they came out just fine. I used low carb whole grain tortillas too!
This will also make a nice meal for our ministry at church and can be frozen for further use.

I’m sure crab would work as well – I make mine with 1/2 shrimp & 1/2 bay scallops & the family loves them.

Wow! I don’t have any shrimp on hand…I wonder if crab would be good?
