Cooking time

15-20 minutes

minutes

    Ingredients

    • 1/2lb shrimp (peeled, deveined, chopped in halves or thirds)

    • 1/2lb scallops (cut into chunks)

    • 2-3oz chorizo (optional but great for flavor and fat)

    • 1 tsp olive oil

    • 1.5 cups shredded cheese

    • 1/2 cup mango salsa or pico de gallo

    • 1 bag of tortilla chips (~11oz)

    • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

    • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

    • 1/4 tsp onion powder

    • 1/8 tsp cumin

    • a pinch of cayenne or chili flakes

    • salt and pepper, to taste

    • zest of 1/2 lime

    • optional: sliced jalapenos, lime wedges, chopped cilantro

    Directions

    • Saute the chorizo, shrimp, and scallops
      Preheat oven to 400°F for later. Mix paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and cayenne together for your seasoning blend. Saute the chorizo until browned; remove and set aside. In the same pan, add oil if needed. Season and saute the shrimp and scallops with your seasoning blend just until cooked (about 3-4 mins)

    • Make your nacho set
      On a sheet pan, layer chips evenly, and sprinkle with cheese as desired. Evenly spread your seafood mixture over the nachos and layer additional cheese if desired.

    • Bake and garnish
      Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from oven, and top off with fresh pico, cilantro, and sour cream, if you're so inclined!
