Red Lobster's Shrimp Nachos - CDKitchen.com

serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  under 30 minutes

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.
