Spicy Shrimp and Jalapeno Nachos

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Shrimp and Jalapeno Nachos.

1. Step 1

   To create a delicious avocado-cream sauce, start by blending together sour cream, ripe avocado, and fresh lemon juice in a blender or food processor.

2. Step 2

   Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, then transfer it into a plastic decorating bottle with a long tip.

3. Step 3

   Pop it in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the rest of your dish.

4. Step 4

   Next, take your shrimp and toss them in a bowl with a drizzle of vegetable oil, ground chipotle pepper, salt, black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.

5. Step 5

   Make sure each shrimp is evenly coated with the flavorful spices.

6. Step 6

   Heat a large nonstick pan over high heat and add the shrimp in a single layer.

7. Step 7

   Cook them for about a minute on each side, just until they turn a lovely pink and are barely cooked through.

8. Step 8

   Once done, remove the shrimp from the pan and let them cool on a plate.

9. Step 9

   Now, it’s time to preheat your oven’s broiler.

10. Step 10

    Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and give it a light grease to prevent sticking.

11. Step 11

    Arrange your tortilla chips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, and for each chip, place one shrimp, a slice of jalapeno, and a generous pinch of shredded pepperjack cheese on top.

12. Step 12

    Broil the nachos under the preheated broiler for about a minute, keeping a close eye on them to ensure the cheese melts perfectly and the chips get a nice golden toast without burning.

13. Step 13

    Once they’re ready, carefully transfer the nachos to a serving platter.

14. Step 14

    Drizzle your chilled avocado-cream sauce over the top, and finish with a sprinkle of sliced cherry tomatoes and chopped cilantro for a burst of color and flavor.
