SHRIMP AND JALAPENO NACHOS



Shrimp and Jalapeno Nachos image

What better way to 'fiesta' than with this beautiful plate of alternative nachos? This will make a very delicious change of pace to the traditional version. Each nacho is separate from the next so you don't end up with a plate containing one giant nacho that you have to pull apart.

Time 25m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ cup sour cream
½ avocado, peeled and pitted
½ lemon, juiced
1 pound small Gulf shrimp (50 to 60 per pound), thawed and drained
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
¼ teaspoon ground dried chipotle pepper
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
50 large (restaurant-style) tortilla chips, or as needed
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and very thinly sliced
3 ½ cups shredded pepperjack cheese, or as needed
15 cherry tomatoes, sliced - or as needed
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Combine sour cream, avocado, and lemon juice in a blender or food processor; blend until smooth and creamy. Transfer into a plastic decorating bottle with a long tip. Refrigerate avocado-cream sauce until needed.
  • Place shrimp into a bowl; combine with vegetable oil, ground chipotle pepper, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
  • Place a large nonstick pan over high heat. Cook shrimp in the hot pan in a single layer until barely cooked through and pink, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a plate and let shrimp cool.
  • Preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease the foil.
  • Lay tortilla chips onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Place 1 shrimp onto each chip. Add 1 slice jalapeno and 1 large pinch pepperjack cheese on top of each shrimp.
  • Broil under preheated broiler until cheese is melted and chips are lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Watch carefully; chips will burn quickly.
  • Remove nachos from baking sheet and arrange onto a serving platter; drizzle with avocado-cream sauce and sprinkle with cherry tomatoes and cilantro before serving.

LOW COUNTRY NACHOS



Low Country Nachos image

Provided by Kardea Brown

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk, plus more if needed
1 1/2 pounds white American cheese, diced
8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, diced
1/2 jalapeño, seeds and ribs removed, flesh minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons seafood seasoning
2 cloves garlic, minced
12 ounces lump crabmeat, drained and picked over to remove any shell or cartilage
One 13-ounce bag tortilla chips
1/2 cup sliced green onions
1/2 cup chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. Continue to whisk for 1 minute, making sure the mixture doesn't brown. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook, whisking often, until it just barely bubbles along the sides of the pan, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, add the American and Monterey Jack cheeses and stir until melted. Stir in the jalapeño. If the sauce is too thick, whisk in more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time. Add salt and pepper to taste and keep the cheese sauce warm.
  • Toss together the shrimp, 1 tablespoon of the oil, the seafood seasoning and garlic in a medium bowl. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Add the crabmeat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and just cooked through and the crabmeat is warmed through, about 2 minutes more.
  • Spread a layer of tortilla chips on a serving platter. Top with some of the shrimp and crab mixture and drizzle with some cheese sauce. Repeat with another layer of chips, shrimp and crab mixture and cheese sauce, building your nachos as high as you like. Sprinkle with the green onions and cilantro and serve immediately.
