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!

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1/2 cup lime juice
1 tablespoon minced, fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, thinly slices
1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro
Pinch red pepper flakes
1 pound large shrimp, shelled and deveined
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tomato, seeded and diced
3 green onions, finely chopped
Juice of 1 lime
1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro
Coarse salt
8 ounces tortilla chips
3 cups refried black beans
1 cup grated anejo cheese

Steps:

In a non reactive bowl, combine marinade ingredients. Add shrimp, toss to coat, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Heat the 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the shrimp and saute, stirring and shaking the pan to prevent sticking, until cooked, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer shrimp to a large bowl to cool. When cool, chop shrimp coarsely.
Add tomato, green onions, lime juice, cilantro and salt to shrimp and toss to mix.
Preheat the broiler. Spread tortilla chips out in an oven proof platter. Spoon the black beans over the chips and sprinkle with cheese. Place under the broiler until cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
To serve, top with shrimp salsa.
