Crab and Shrimp Enchiladas

3 tbsp.'s butter
1 onion, chopped
1/2 cup green onions, sliced
1 bell pepper, chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 lb. peeled medium shrimp

1/2 lb. lump crab meat, picked over 
1 can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1 can hot enchilada sauce, divided
1 (4 oz.) can green chilies, drained
1 tsp. or more, Cajun seasoning
1  8 count package flour tortillas
 1 (1/2) cups shredded Pepper Jack cheese, divided
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)

In large skillet, saute the onion, bell pepper, seasoning, on medium heat, for about 5 minutes. Add shrimp and saute and stir for about 5 minutes on each side.

Pour in mushroom soup, half of the enchilada sauce, crab meat, and green chilies. Stir and mix well. Add salt to taste. Cover and simmer for 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
 

Place tortilla in a shallow dish and spread 1/2 cup of the mixture on top, sprinkle with  cheese, roll, and place in a greased, 13 x 9 baking pan, with seams down. Repeat.

When complete, pour other half of enchilada sauce, evenly on top and sprinkle top with remaining Pepper Jack cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese,  green onions, and cilantro. 

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 15 minutes or until bubbly and cheese melts. 

Serve with my Corn, Black Bean, and Tomato Salsa.  Bon appetit!

Festival International de Louisiane

We had an absolute bon ton at Festival International, enjoying 5 straight days of fabulous food, music, and fun. The weather was great also, which made the whole event even more enjoyable. Here are a few pics that I took of some of the awesome food that we ate from the Pavillion de Cuisine. The lines were long, but well worth the wait.

Crawfish Spinach Bread Bowl

Blackened Shrimp Wrap

We also had dinner at a few choice restaurants downtown. The Jalapeno Cheeseburgers were out of this world!

And the fried shrimp en brochette was divine!

There were 6 music stages and the music was incredible.
