Ingredients
Method
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.
Turn the shrimp out onto a plate to cool.
Nachos: building and broiling
  • 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.
Nachos: avocado crema and toppings
  • cherry tomatoes
  • cilantro
Finish with freshly sliced cherry tomatoes and plenty of freshly chopped cilantro.
