Seafood Nachos Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Seafood

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add shrimp and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until shrimp are opaque and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Nachos

    On a large baking sheet, spread out tortilla chips evenly. Layer the cooked shrimp and shredded crab meat over the chips. Sprinkle cheddar and monterey jack cheese generously on top. Add sliced jalapeños.

  3. 3

    Bake

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove from oven and let cool for a minute. Top with dollops of sour cream and guacamole. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
