Creating Shrimp Enchiladas is simple if you follow these steps:

4. Prepare Sauce: In a bowl, combine sour cream, heavy cream, and half of the enchilada sauce. Mix well.
5. Fill Tortillas: Place a tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon a portion of the shrimp mixture in the center, sprinkle with cheese, and roll it up tightly. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
6. Arrange in Casserole: Spread a thin layer of the remaining enchilada sauce at the bottom of a baking dish. Place the filled tortillas seam-side down in the dish.
7. Top with Sauce and Cheese: Pour the creamy mixture over the rolled enchiladas. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
8. Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
