Heat olive oil over medium-high warmth in a massive pan or skillet. Add the onions, crimson pepper, and jalapeno. Cook for about four minutes; stir a number of times.

NOTES

If available, use wild-caught shrimp. They are higher for you and, in my opinion, style better.
Do no longer overcook the shrimp. Things go exceedingly darn fast.
For most efficient flavor, use good-quality flour tortillas. Check your neighborhood Mexican grocery store. They are really worth the greater change.
You can use corn tortillas for a extra proper enchilada. But warmness them first so they do no longer crumble. Heating in a skillet over medium warmth for simply a few seconds or in the microwave wrapped in a barely damp paper towel for about 20-30 seconds works well.
For a spicier version, strive Pepper Jack cheese or add a little cayenne pepper or inexperienced chilies to the cheese sauce.
If you are in a notable hurry, pass by the oven step. Keep the shrimp combination heat on a included plate. Wrap the shrimp combination in the heat tortillas and drizzle with the cheese sauce.
Garnish with chopped cilantro, jalapeno slices, guacamole, or salsa verde.
