2 tablespoons achiote paste
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
Canola oil, for deep-frying
16 fresh 3-inch whole corn tortillas
2 cups Black Bean Puree, recipe follows
2 1/2 cups Queso, recipe follows
1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted and diced
2 cups pico de gallo
3 tablespoons sliced pickled Fresno chiles or other pickled chiles
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 cup canola oil
1/2 yellow onion, finely diced
1 jalapeno, roughly chopped (leave the seeds in)
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Two 15 1/2-ounce cans black beans, drained
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
1 cup Mexican crema
Kosher salt
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
2 cups heavy cream
2 teaspoons kosher salt
4 cups shredded sharp Cheddar
4 cups shredded jalapeno Jack cheese

Steps:

  • Place the shrimp in a large bowl and toss with the achiote paste and salt. Marinate the shrimp for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the canola oil to 350 degrees F in a tabletop deep-fryer or in a Dutch oven with a deep-fry thermometer attached. Place a wire rack over a sheet pan for draining. Fry the tortillas in small batches until crisped and golden, 4 to 6 minutes. Place on the rack to drain.
  • While the tortillas fry, heat 3 tablespoons canola oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the shrimp and cook, turning once, until just cooked through, about 4 minutes. Set aside.
  • Spoon the Black Bean Puree over the bottom of a large oval platter. Arrange the fried tortillas over the top. Spoon the Queso generously all over. Top with the shrimp. Sprinkle with avocado, pico de gallo and pickled chiles. Garnish with cilantro.
  • Heat a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the oil, onions, jalapeno, coriander and cumin. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is soft, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in the beans. Add the stock, crema and salt to taste. Bring to a simmer. Transfer the mixture to a blender and puree.
  • Melt the butter in a 3-quart saucepan set over medium heat. Stir in the flour until combined. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Switch to a whisk and slowly whisk in the milk and cream. Whisk in the salt. Switch back to a spoon and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the Cheddar and Jack cheeses. Turn the heat off and allow the cheese to melt. Stir until smooth.

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!

SPICY SHRIMP NACHOS



Spicy Shrimp Nachos image

Spicy and sweet! The Jamaican Jerk seasoning really works here, bringing all the flavors together. What an amazing taste sensation! I ended up being so busy today that I had to use pre-cooked shrimp, but it was still fabulous! I submitted the recipe the way it was written in Better Homes and Gardens, but I ended up using more cheese as we didn't think 4 oz. was enough. I used twice that much, a full 8 oz and broiled them on a baking sheet. It took about 5 minutes on the second-to-the-top position in my oven. YUM!

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp will give your nachos the best flavor. If you can't find fresh shrimp, frozen shrimp will work in a pinch.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp should be cooked until it is opaque and pink. Do not overcook the shrimp, or it will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a variety of toppings: The great thing about nachos is that you can top them with whatever you like. Some popular toppings include cheese, salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo.
  • Don't skimp on the cheese: Cheese is what makes nachos so delicious. Use a good quality cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or queso Oaxaca.
  • Serve the nachos immediately: Nachos are best served immediately after they are made. This will prevent the chips from getting soggy.

Conclusion:

Asian shrimp nachos are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or game day. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious plate of nachos that everyone will enjoy.
