Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Seafood Enchiladas with Crab and Shrimp.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While that warms up, grab a large skillet and melt some butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Toss in the chopped onion and sauté it until it turns a lovely translucent color, which should take about five minutes.
Step 4
Once the onion is ready, take the skillet off the heat and stir in the crabmeat, chopped shrimp, and half of the shredded Colby cheese.
Step 5
This mixture is where the magic begins! Now, take a generous spoonful of your delicious seafood filling and place it right in the center of each tortilla.
Step 6
Roll them up snugly and lay them seam-side down in a 9x13-inch baking dish, creating a beautiful arrangement that will make your mouth water.
Step 7
Next, let’s whip up a creamy sauce that will take these enchiladas to the next level.
Step 8
In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine half-and-half, sour cream, melted butter, fresh parsley, and a sprinkle of garlic salt.
Step 9
Stir this delightful mixture frequently until it’s warm and perfectly blended—this is the secret to a rich, flavorful topping! Once your sauce is ready, pour it generously over the enchiladas in the baking dish, making sure every roll is covered in that creamy goodness.
Step 10
Don’t forget to sprinkle the remaining Colby cheese on top; this will create a golden, bubbly crust as it bakes.
Step 11
Now, pop the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 30 minutes.
Step 12
You’ll know it’s done when the seafood is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbling, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.
Step 13
Get ready to serve up a plate of these scrumptious seafood enchiladas that are sure to impress your family and friends! Enjoy every bite!.
