Ingredients

Techniques
- 1 lb Gulf shrimp
- oil
- cayenne
- chipotle
- black pepper
- salt
Toss 1 lb thawed drained shrimp with a drizzle of oil, a pinch of cayenne, chipotle, black pepper and a big pinch of salt.
Heat a non-stick pan on high, add the shrimp in a single layer with no extra fat, and cook about a minute per side, shaking the pan and turning them, until barely cooked through.
- tortilla chips
- jalapeno
Lay large tortilla chips on a foil lined sheet pan, set one shrimp in the centre of each, top with a thin slice of seeded jalapeno and a big pinch of grated pepper jack.
- pepper jack
Cheese them individually rather than sprinkling over the whole pan, or the melted cheese welds them into one nacho.
Melt the cheese in a 400F oven about five minutes, or under the broiler, which is faster and gives more caramelization but needs watching.
- avocado
- sour cream
Plate, then drizzle over avocado crema, half avocado to half sour cream blended.
