1/2 cup lime juice
1 tablespoon minced, fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, thinly slices

SHRIMP NACHOS



Shrimp Nachos image

This is my most requested recipe to bring to get-togethers and there's always someone who hasn't had them who asks for the recipe. You can make it days ahead of time and have it out of the oven in just a few minutes when you need it. Add more chipotle peppers if you like it spicier. This recipe makes a lot, but it actually freezes well. I usually freeze half of it and have it another time. If you're making it for a party, though, bring it all because it will be gone!

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

16 medium shrimp, peeled, deveined and butterflied
2 tablespoons achiote paste
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
Canola oil, for deep-frying
16 fresh 3-inch whole corn tortillas
2 cups Black Bean Puree, recipe follows
2 1/2 cups Queso, recipe follows
1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted and diced
2 cups pico de gallo
3 tablespoons sliced pickled Fresno chiles or other pickled chiles
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 cup canola oil
1/2 yellow onion, finely diced
1 jalapeno, roughly chopped (leave the seeds in)
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Two 15 1/2-ounce cans black beans, drained
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
1 cup Mexican crema
Kosher salt
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
2 cups heavy cream
2 teaspoons kosher salt
4 cups shredded sharp Cheddar
4 cups shredded jalapeno Jack cheese

Steps:

  • Place the shrimp in a large bowl and toss with the achiote paste and salt. Marinate the shrimp for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the canola oil to 350 degrees F in a tabletop deep-fryer or in a Dutch oven with a deep-fry thermometer attached. Place a wire rack over a sheet pan for draining. Fry the tortillas in small batches until crisped and golden, 4 to 6 minutes. Place on the rack to drain.
  • While the tortillas fry, heat 3 tablespoons canola oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the shrimp and cook, turning once, until just cooked through, about 4 minutes. Set aside.
  • Spoon the Black Bean Puree over the bottom of a large oval platter. Arrange the fried tortillas over the top. Spoon the Queso generously all over. Top with the shrimp. Sprinkle with avocado, pico de gallo and pickled chiles. Garnish with cilantro.
  • Heat a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the oil, onions, jalapeno, coriander and cumin. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is soft, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in the beans. Add the stock, crema and salt to taste. Bring to a simmer. Transfer the mixture to a blender and puree.
  • Melt the butter in a 3-quart saucepan set over medium heat. Stir in the flour until combined. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Switch to a whisk and slowly whisk in the milk and cream. Whisk in the salt. Switch back to a spoon and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the Cheddar and Jack cheeses. Turn the heat off and allow the cheese to melt. Stir until smooth.

Tips:

- To make the perfect shrimp, cook them until they are just pink and opaque. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy. - If you don't have a grill, you can cook the shrimp in a skillet over medium heat. - For a more flavorful nacho, use a variety of toppings, such as shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, and sour cream. - If you are using a store-bought nacho cheese sauce, be sure to heat it according to the package directions. - Serve the nachos immediately after they are made, while the chips are still crispy.

Conclusion:

Asian shrimp nachos are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or gatherings, and they can also be enjoyed as a meal. With their unique flavor combination of sweet, sour, and spicy, Asian shrimp nachos are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
