Pro Tips for Perfect Garlic Shrimp Enchiladas

  • Don’t overcook shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly; remove from heat as soon as it turns pink.

  • Warm tortillas: Softening tortillas prevents cracking when rolling.

  • Make it spicy: Add jalapeños or hot sauce to the filling for heat.

  • Extra flavor: Sauté onions or bell peppers with the shrimp for more depth.
