Cheesy Shrimp Nachos
Ingredients
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) package tortilla chips, or to taste
  • 2 pounds shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 1/2 pounds large peeled and deveined cooked shrimp, tails removed and shrimp quartered
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 4 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup dried minced onion (such as McCormick® Coarse Grind Blend White and Green Onions)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). To make cleanup easier, cover the bottom of a baking sheet with a thin layer of aluminum foil.
2
Next, arrange tortilla chips in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. This will provide a solid foundation for your nachos.
3
Meanwhile, combine shredded Monterey Jack cheese, succulent shrimp, creamy mayonnaise, spicy chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped cilantro, sautéed minced onion, warm cumin, and a pinch of black pepper in a bowl. Mix everything together until you have a uniform blend.
4
Now, spread the cheese-shrimp mixture evenly over the tortilla chips. This will create a deliciously layered snack.
5
Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven and bake for 3 minutes. To add a nice brown crust, switch to the broiler and cook the nachos for an additional 3-4 minutes. Finally, let the nachos rest at room temperature for about 2 minutes before serving.
