Thanks BB and Vincent. These made a great dinner. I upped the chipotles to 2 tablespoons and Since DBF is not a fan of chevre, I subbed a combination of cream cheese and monterey jack resulting in extremely creamy enchiladas. I used 31 to 40 count and would recommend using a larger shrimp since I was not able to get 4- 1/3 cup portions or I would just use 2x as much smaller shrimp. Gracias BB, we really enjoyed these!
