   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Place the walnut halves in a shallow baking pan and toast them in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Once done, set them aside to cool.

2. Prepare the Seafood Filling:

   • In a large skillet, sauté the diced onions in butter until they become transparent and fragrant.
   • Remove the skillet from heat, then add in the diced green chilies, baby shrimp, toasted walnuts, and sliced olives. Mix well to combine.

3. Prepare the Cheese Mixture:

   • In a separate bowl, combine the shredded Monterey Jack cheese and cheddar cheese, reserving about 1 1/2 cups for later use as topping. Stir the remaining cheese mixture into the seafood filling until evenly distributed.

4. Prepare the Tortillas:

   • In a medium skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of oil.
   • Fry each corn tortilla individually for about 30 seconds on each side, just long enough to soften them. Drain the fried tortillas on paper towels to remove excess oil.

5. Assemble the Enchiladas:

   • Fill each softened tortilla with the seafood filling mixture, then roll them up and place them seam side down in a lightly greased 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish.

6. Prepare the Sauce:

   • In a medium saucepan, combine the half-and-half, sour cream, remaining butter, dried oregano, salt, and garlic powder.
   • Stir the mixture constantly over medium heat until it becomes lukewarm and well blended.

7. Bake the Enchiladas:

   • Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the assembled enchiladas in the baking dish.
   • Sprinkle the reserved cheese mixture on top of the enchiladas.
   • Bake the enchiladas in the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

8. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Allow the enchiladas to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
   • Serve these delicious seafood enchiladas hot, garnished with your favorite toppings such as diced tomatoes, avocado slices, or chopped cilantro, if desired.
