Shrimp Nachos Recipe
Shrimp nachos represent the most requested recipe to bring to get-togethers, with someone who hasn't had them always asking for the recipe afterward. This popular recipe has earned its reputation through consistently impressive results that convert newcomers into fans. The seafood element creates sophisticated party food that stands out.
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!
