Enchiladas Mazatlan - Shrimp Enchiladas

This Shrimp Enchiladas were first invented in the Mazatlan area of Mexico, hence it's name Enchiladas Mazatlan.

This area is a melting pot of people from different areas in the world, like Spain, Dutch and German, so the cuisine of this area also has influence of different areas.
