Yes, this was amazing! I forgot to add the sour cream to the shrimp filling so I added a dollop next to the enchiladas on the plate... still amazing! 5 tablespoons of oil isn't necessary; I put my Poblano under the boiler (no oil needed) and sprayed my pan with cooking spray; I probably only used about 2 teaspoons of olive oil to saute the shrimp mixture. Served with black beans and a green salad.
