Best 4 Shrimp And Crab Nachos Recipes

LOW COUNTRY NACHOS

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. Continue to whisk for 1 minute, making sure the mixture doesn't brown. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook, whisking often, until it just barely bubbles along the sides of the pan, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, add the American and Monterey Jack cheeses and stir until melted. Stir in the jalapeño. If the sauce is too thick, whisk in more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time. Add salt and pepper to taste and keep the cheese sauce warm.
• Toss together the shrimp, 1 tablespoon of the oil, the seafood seasoning and garlic in a medium bowl. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Add the crabmeat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and just cooked through and the crabmeat is warmed through, about 2 minutes more.
• Spread a layer of tortilla chips on a serving platter. Top with some of the shrimp and crab mixture and drizzle with some cheese sauce. Repeat with another layer of chips, shrimp and crab mixture and cheese sauce, building your nachos as high as you like. Sprinkle with the green onions and cilantro and serve immediately.

• In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream until smooth. Gently stir in the crabmeat, scallions, chiles, lime zest, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper and set aside.
• Distribute half of the corn chips on a large (12 × 18 × 2-inch) ovenproof serving platter (or a sheet pan). Spoon half of the crab mixture over the chips in dollops and then sprinkle with half of the Cheddar, half of the Monterey Jack, and all of the pickled jalapeños. Sprinkle with the remaining chips, then distribute the remaining crab mixture and cheeses on top. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
• Meanwhile, prepare the topping. In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, onion, jalapeño pepper, lime juice, olive oil, avocado, parsley, and 1 teaspoon salt. Spoon onto the nachos, sprinkle with lime juice, and serve hot.
