Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray.
- For the Shrimp Mixture: In a large skillet melt the 2 tablespoons of butter. Sautee the red bell pepper and onion until slightly soft. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes or until pink just start to turn pink. Remember we are still baking this so we don't want the shrimp to be overcooked.
- Reduce heat to low and add the cream cheese. Stirring until cream cheese is melted. Stir in the salt, chili powder, cilantro, and lime. Stir and set aside.
- Fill a tortilla with 1/3 cup of the shrimp mixture, about 1 tablespoon of cheese, and roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Stir together the salsa verde and the cream in a small bowl. Pour the sauce over the tortillas and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake uncovered for 20-30 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the enchiladas sit for 10 minutes before serving.
