These seafood enchiladas with crab and shrimp taste just like the ones served at a popular Mexican restaurant in my area. My husband just loves them. You can add tomatoes, cilantro, sliced olives, or other toppings before baking if desired.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 medium onion , chopped
  • 0.5 pounds fresh crabmeat
  • 0.25 pounds shrimp - peeled , deveined and coarsely chopped
  • 8 ounces Colby cheese , shredded
  • 6 , 10 inch

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Make the filling: Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir crabmeat, shrimp, and 1/2 of the Colby cheese into the skillet.

  3. 3

    Arrange a large spoonful of filling across the center of each tortilla, then roll tortillas around filling. Place enchiladas, seam-side down, into a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  4. 4

    Make the sauce: Heat half-and-half, sour cream, melted butter, parsley, and garlic salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring often, until lukewarm and well blended. Pour over enchiladas, then sprinkle remaining cheese over top.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until crab and shrimp are cooked and cheese is melted, about 30 minutes.
