Two types of seafood and a flavorful sauce make these enchiladas outstanding. I prepared them for an annual fund raiser, where they're always in demand. Spice up the recipe to your taste by adding more green chilies and salsa.

<p>Delicious and easy. I have made this several times. I also make this without the seafood and with extra shredded cheese for my vegetarian son... Per another reviewer's suggestion, the last two times I have made this with ricotta rather than cottage cheese, which makes this dish even easier to prepare, no blender required... In future I think I will double the amount of sauce I make for this dish...</p>

This was excellent. Made it while in Maine on a family vacation. I used Maine Crab & Maine Shrimp. I put cilantro in the sauce, but not in the filling. I also used ricotta cheese instead of cottage cheese... much creamier and smoother than blended cottage cheese. There were 8 of us, so I doubled the recipe, used burrito size tortillas and ended up with 14 enchiladas. Everyone loved it!!

Very tasty recipe and simple to put together. Next time I might add green and red peppers along with a little bit of onion.
