Cheesy Shrimp Nachos

Tortilla chips, shrimp, tomatoes, black olives, shredded cheese, bacon and more. I made this fabulous loaded Cheesy Shrimp Nachos for our meal and we devoured it!

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add the shrimp, salt and pepper to taste and cook
for about 2 -4 minutes turning over halfway through
until the shrimp turns an opaque pink color.

Remove the shrimp from the pan immediately and place
it on a cutting board. Cut each shrimp into 3-4 pieces.

Spread the tortilla chips onto a large baking sheet.
Using a spoon drizzle the 15 oz. jar of Mild Salsa Con
Queso over the tortilla chips and top with cooked bacon.

Add the sliced black olives and sliced tomatoes.

Top with the shredded cheese. Bake in a preheated 400º
oven for 10 – 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

Remove from the oven and immediately
top with the shrimp pieces and green onion.

Add dollops of sour cream and
serve with salsa on the side (optional).

No your not!! I don’t like fish and have never had one either. If I do eat fish it has to be perch and smothered in tartar sauce. Lol
