Seafood Enchilada
Sponsored Links
Perhaps you remember a delicious dish called the Cancun by one restaurant. It is a seafood enchilada covered in cheese
Here is a
recipe
if you would like to prepare it at home!
Time: 50-60 minutes (this will vary)
Cooking Time: 25-30 minutes (ovens are different-observe)
Serves: 6 (you can cut the recipe in half for 3)
Note: You can try substituting this item with cream of shrimp or other cream soups. But if you want the original flavor, you need actual
lobster base
. (you can get this at a specialty shop or online). Note: It is relatively inexpensive, pretty quick delivery, and doesn't need refrigerated (order a brand that doesn't) until you open it!

That ol' restaurant taste!

Use the brands you like!
6 tablespoons butter (use unsalted)-the lobster base is very salty
½ cup flour
½ teaspoon white pepper
2 tablespoons lobster base (See note: VERY Important)
Note: Some brands claim less salt ( e.g., one base claims to have 1/3 less salt than ordinary bouillon.)
3 ½ cups 2% milk
1 cup dry white wine (Sauvignon blanc)
8 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese --Monterey/cheddar mix has a good taste (see top photo)
1 (4 ounce) can tiny shrimp
2 (8 ounce) packages (flake style) imitation crabmeat (not the real stuff)[it's actually Alaskan pollack). Real crab seems to "dominate" the taste.
10 (6 inch) flour tortillas (old mission restaurant style)
paprika (for garnish)
