Let's Get Started
- Place the dried shrimp in a bowl and cover with warm water. Let them soak for 15 minutes, then drain and chop.
- In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until softened.
- Add the chopped dried shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, until heated through.
- In a separate saucepan, combine the tomato sauce, chicken broth, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
- Dip each corn tortilla in the simmering sauce to soften it, then fill with a spoonful of the shrimp mixture. Roll up the tortilla and place it seam-side down in a baking dish.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and shrimp mixture.
- Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas in the baking dish.
- Sprinkle the crumbled queso fresco over the top.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20-25 minutes, until the enchiladas are heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
