Chef Tips:
Don't overcook the Prawns: Overcooked prawns can become tough and rubbery. Cook the prawns just until they turn pink and are cooked through. The quality of the tortilla chips you use will make a big difference in the overall flavor and texture of your nachos. Layer the ingredients: Layering the ingredients will help ensure that every chip is loaded with flavor. Start with a layer of chips, followed by cheese, then shrimp, onion, coriander, and jalapeno. Customize the toppings: Don't be afraid to customize the toppings to your liking. You can add diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, or a dollop of sour cream to your shrimp nachos. Serve immediately: Nachos are best when served immediately after baking. If you let them sit for too long, the chips can become soggy.
