Seafood Enchiladas

By: Cathy 
"These crab and shrimp stuffed enchiladas taste like the ones served at a popular Mexican restaurant in my area. My husband just loves them. After sprinkling the cheese over the enchiladas before baking, you can also garnish with tomatoes, cilantro, olive slices, or whatever other garnish you enjoy."

It's really good until you get to the last third of the enchilada because it's very rich.
