Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Seafood

    In a medium bowl, combine the cooked crab meat and cooked shrimp. Toss gently to mix and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cheese

    In a separate bowl, mix the shredded cheese blend to ensure an even distribution of flavors.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Layer the Nachos

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). On a large baking sheet, spread the tortilla chips evenly. Sprinkle half of the cheese mixture over the chips.

  2. 4

    Add Seafood

    Evenly distribute the crab and shrimp mixture over the cheese-covered chips. Top with the remaining cheese.

  3. 5

    Season

    Sprinkle the Old Bay seasoning evenly over the top of the nachos.

Baking

  1. 6

    Bake the Nachos

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serving

  1. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the nachos from the oven. Garnish with chopped cilantro, dollops of sour cream, and sliced jalapeños to taste. Serve immediately.
