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!

SPICY SHRIMP NACHOS



Spicy Shrimp Nachos image

Spicy and sweet! The Jamaican Jerk seasoning really works here, bringing all the flavors together. What an amazing taste sensation! I ended up being so busy today that I had to use pre-cooked shrimp, but it was still fabulous! I submitted the recipe the way it was written in Better Homes and Gardens, but I ended up using more cheese as we didn't think 4 oz. was enough. I used twice that much, a full 8 oz and broiled them on a baking sheet. It took about 5 minutes on the second-to-the-top position in my oven. YUM!

SALSA-BAKED SALMON NACHOS



Salsa-Baked Salmon Nachos image

This is one of my favorite methods for cooking salmon! Baked on a bed of onions and jalapeno peppers and thickly covered with seasoned salsa, the salmon stays moist and tender without giving your kitchen any fishy smell. Even though these nachos don't contain cheese, they're topped with a rich sour cream drizzle which makes them every bit as decadent as real nachos.

Time 50m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons olive oil
⅔ cup salsa
½ teaspoon ground dried chipotle pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ cup diced red onion
2 medium jalapeno peppers, seeded and thinly sliced
2 (8 ounce) skinless salmon fillets, bones removed
¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 medium avocado, diced
1 teaspoon lemon juice, or to taste
⅓ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon water
3 cups corn tortilla chips
¼ cup chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons minced green onion
1 small lime, juiced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Generously grease the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
  • Combine salsa, ground chipotle, and cumin in a bowl.
  • Sprinkle red onion and jalapenos in an even layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Place salmon filets over top and season with salt. Generously spoon salsa over the filets and distribute remaining salsa over onions and jalapenos.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven, until salmon is moist and tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 130 degrees F (55 degrees C), about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss diced avocado with lemon juice in a small bowl. Thin sour cream with water in another bowl.
  • Divide chips between two serving plates. Spoon onion-jalapeno mixture over top, along with any accumulated juices, then top with avocado, cilantro, and green onion. Place a salmon filet on top of each plate and drizzle with sour cream. Sprinkle with more green onions and serve with lime.

  • Air-fry until cheese is melted and chips are starting to slightly brown on the edges, 5 to 6 minutes. Watch closely to be sure the cheese doesn't burn. If necessary, add additional time until you reach your preferred crispness.

SARASOTA'S SEAFOOD NACHOS WITH MANGO SALSA



Sarasota's Seafood Nachos With Mango Salsa image

I have to admit that this was based on "Bubbas Seafood Nachos," Paula Deens Brothers recipe; but a few other recipes got mixed in as well and they ended up blending together which I think turned out really good. I primarily make mine with crab and shrimp because the price is right, but feel free to add scallops and lobster for a spectacular dish. Just use what is available in your area. Shrimp, crab, lobster and scallops or any combination - Whatever you like best. I like to make these in individual aluminum foil pouches so each person gets their own, but you can also serve this family style. And, most importantly ... don't forget the mango salsa. It is a perfect compliment to this dish and what makes it special. And like any nachos, the condiments ... lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, olives, avocado, and lime are a must - but use the condiments that you like best. These aren't every day nachos, but these are great party food or a great Friday night dinner. Serve these with a big bowl of soup, and dessert for a fun movie night or game night. Note: The sauce is made very quickly, even buying pre grated cheese can help if time is a factor; and now-a-days, you can even find frozen mango which will work if fresh is not available. It sounds more difficult than it is, and it really isn't a hard dish at all.

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 Individual servings, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 31

16 ounces white tortilla chips
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated (I prefer a white cheddar)
1 cup monterey jack cheese, grated
2 cups monterey jack pepper cheese, grated
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated (more or less to taste)
8 ounces crabmeat (I get mine from the deli, but you can also use lump crab in the can)
1/2 lb shrimp, rough chopped
1/2 lb seafood, rough chopped (lobster or scallops or just use more shrimp or crab)
1 cup heavy cream
1 small jalapeno, ribs and seeds removed, fine diced (leave some of the ribs in if you want more heat)
2 shallots, fine diced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon flour
1 pinch cumin
salt
pepper
1 medium mango, peeled and fine chopped (you can also use a papaya as well)
1/4 cup red bell pepper, fine chopped
2 scallions, fine diced (white and green parts)
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, fine minced
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
salt
pepper
avocado, diced (or guacamole)
tomatoes, diced
black olives, diced
iceberg lettuce, shredded
sour cream
lime, cut in wedges (to squeeze over the top)

Steps:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350, middle shelf. I use a large 13x9" pan or baking dish, but you can also make these in individual foil pouches as well and just set them on a baking sheet. Make sure to spray the pan or foil pouches with a non stick spray. I often line the casserole dish or pan with parchment for even easier clean up.
  • Mango Salsa -- In a small bowl, mix the mango, red pepper, scallions, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper and toss well to combine. Set to the side, cover and refrigerate for 1-4 hours to combine the flavors. This is better made ahead, but not necessary.
  • Sauce -- In a medium size sauce pan, add the butter, garlic, shallots and cook 2 minutes on medium heat. Then add in the flour and whisk well until combined and cook another minute to get rid of the flour taste. Add in the cream and season with salt and pepper. Add in the shrimp, scallops or lobster, etc (any un-cooked seafood) and cook 2-3 minutes until done. Slowly add in the cream and cumin and bring to a medium heat. The sauce will begin to thicken. Add in the crab meat and lightly stir and reduce to low heat and just let it simmer. The sauce is done. Make sure to check for seasoning - salt and pepper if necessary. Next, the chips and cheese just take a few minutes.
  • Base -- As the sauce is cooking, spread 1/2 of the chips in the pan, dish or in the foil pouches and top with 1/2 of the monterey jack, pepper jack and cheddar cheeses. Bake 2-4 minutes until melted. Remove from the oven and top with 1/2 of the seafood sauce and add another layer of chips and the remainder of cheese and sauce, top with the parmesan and bake another 3-4 minutes.
  • Serve -- If I serve them in individual pouches I let each person garnish their own dish. But I do put a big spoon of the mango salsa and lime slice right on top of the melted cheese. If family style, I like to serve them over a big plate of shredded lettuce and then top with the mango salsa, sour cream, olives and a lime slice which happen to be my favorites. Just don't forget the mango salsa and feel free to use any toppings you like.
  • As I said, serve them as appetizers or as a main dish. Try some sliders on the side for a fun movie or game night with friends. A few beers or wine and dessert and you have a fun unique dinner. And it is really quick to make believe it or not. ENJOY!
