SPICY BLACKENED SHRIMP SKILLET NACHOS

Spicy Blackened Shrimp Skillet Nachos image

I am SO into nachos. Always have been. We make them A LOT in our house and I never hear complaining. Like, never ever. Shrimp just makes these nachos seem so decadent. It also makes these nachos appealing to adults. Especially shrimp-loving adults like myself. The best part about this recipe isn't even the shrimp though, it's how easy the nachos are to make. There are just a few ingredients needed and they take approximately 7 minutes to make. I made these nachos in a cast-iron skillet. Makes it easy to throw in the oven and melt the cheese. Super easy!
