My husband’s favorite thing to order at a Mexican restaurant is shrimp enchiladas.. and typically it is served with some refried beans, etc. Well, I decided to recreate it at home as we all know, one can’t beat homemade food.. so here it is…. very yummy!

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 pound medium shrimp, cleaned
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 2 garlic cloves, grated
• Juice of half a lemon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• ½ cup cilantro, chopped

Heat a medium frying pan with the olive oil. Add the onion and garlic and sauté on medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the shrimp, salt and smoke paprika. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes till the shrimp are almost done. Turn heat off and drizzle with lemon juice.

Tomatillo Sauce

• 4 to 5 tomatillos, cut in half
• 1 medium onion, cut in half with skin on
• 4 to 5 garlic cloves, with skin on
• 1 poblano pepper, cut in half
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup cilantro
• 2 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Place the tomatillos, onion, garlic and poblano pepper on the sheet and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast in oven for 45 minutes till the vegetables are soft. Place into a blender with the water, cilantro and salt. Blend till smooth, taste for seasonings and keep aside.

• 6 to 8 flour tortillas
• 1 to 1½ cups shredded mozzarella
• ½ cup cilantro, chopped

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Transfer the tomatillo sauce in a flat platter. Dip each tortilla in the sauce. Place the tortilla on a cutting board, add 3 to 4 shrimp with the onions, top with a tablespoon of shredded cheese. Roll the tortilla and add to an oven-proof platter seam side down. Repeat the process with all the tortillas. Top with the remaining shredded cheese and cover with aluminum foil, bake for 40 minutes. Take out and serve with refried beans and guacamole.
