Shrimp Enchilada Bake
Shrimp enchiladas contain so much cheese, butter and sour cream that they can come to 50 grams of fat per serving. However you can have a taste of coastal Mexican cuisine with this version that is full of flavour but has only half the calories and 6 grams of fat per serving. Using precooked, peeled shrimp means that you can get this dish to the table fast enough for a week night meal.
