Crispy nachos with shrimp, jalapeno, and pepperjack cheese broiled to perfection, creating a delicious bite-sized treat.
Ingredients:
  • 0.5 avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 0.5 lemon, juiced
  • 1 pound small Gulf shrimp (50 to 60 per pound), thawed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 0.25 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
  • 3.5 cups shredded pepperjack cheese, or as needed
  • 15 cherry tomatoes, sliced - or as needed
  • 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions:
  • In a blender or food processor, blend sour cream, avocado, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy. Transfer the mixture into a plastic decorating bottle with a long tip and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • In a bowl, mix shrimp with vegetable oil, ground chipotle pepper, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until well combined.
  • Heat a large nonstick pan over high heat. Sear shrimp in a single layer until barely cooked through and pink, about 1 minute per side. Remove from heat and allow the shrimp to cool on a plate.
  • Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease it.
  • Arrange the tortilla chips neatly on the baking sheet. Top each chip with one shrimp, followed by a slice of jalapeno and a generous sprinkle of pepperjack cheese.
  • Place the dish under the preheated broiler until the cheese is melted and the chips are lightly toasted, approximately 1 minute. Keep a close eye on them, as the chips can burn quickly.
  • Transfer the nachos from the baking sheet to a serving platter; top with avocado-cream sauce, cherry tomatoes, and cilantro before serving.
