ingredients
1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
1 quart water
1/4 pound salad shrimp, uncooked
1 1/4 cup Colby-Jack cheese, shredded
3 ounces cream cheese, softened and cut in cubes
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup pico de gallo (purchased or homemade)
6 cups tortilla chips (the flatter triangles ones are best)
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
pickled jalapeno pepper slices, as desired
sour cream, as desired
directions
Combine the Old Bay and water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Drop the shrimp in and cook for 3-4 minutes or until they turn pink. Do not overcook! Remove immediately and drain the shrimp in a colander. Set aside. If using larger shrimp than salad sized you can chop them coarsely into bite-sized pieces.
Combine the Colby-Jack and cream cheese in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir to melt the cheese evenly, add milk as needed to make a creamy sauce.
Warm the tortilla chips on a baking sheet in a 375 degrees F oven for 5 minutes until warm and crispy.
To assemble the nachos: place hot tortilla chips on a serving platter or individual plates. Drizzle the chips with the cheese sauce. Evenly spoon the pico de gallo over the cheese and then sprinkle the shrimp over that and top with the chopped cilantro. Add jalapeno pepper slices and sour cream as desired.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
