Instruction
- Add some oil to a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat. Add the onions and jalapenos and cook for 3-4 minutes or until translucent. Stir in the spices and fresh garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the shrimp and cook the shrimp for 1-2 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink.
- Fold in the corn and crab gently, add some fresh lime, and season with salt and pepper. In a separate skillet, add some butter and cook over medium-high heat. Once the butter melts, add the flour. Whisk the butter and flour and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the chipotle pepper and adobo sauce and cook for 20 seconds. Stir in the lobster stock and heavy cream. Mix well and reduce the heat to medium-low. Once the sauce thickens, season it with cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Add about 1/4 cup of sauce to a 9x13 casserole dish. Fry the corn tortillas in vegetable oil for 10 seconds on each side. Add about 2-3 tbsp of the shrimp and crab mixture to each tortilla and roll them up tightly. Place them seam side-down in the casserole and repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Place any left-over seafood on top of the rolled tortillas. Spoon chipotle cream sauce over the top of the rolled enchiladas and then cover with cheese. Bake at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes.
