This recipe was given to me by Irene MacCombe- a play on a recipe she got when her husband was stationed in Japan-it was served over rice- but here she serves it over chips for an appetizer.

SHRIMP NACHOS

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!
