The Ingredients

500g of wild Atlantic pink prawns
1 tbsp of olive oil
1 tsp of garlic powder
1 tsp of onion powder
1 tsp of paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1 bag of Tortilla chips
1 cup of shredded mature cheddar cheese
1/4 cup of diced red onion
1/4 cup of chopped fresh coriander
1 jalapeno, sliced

The Method

serves 4-6
Preheat the oven to 190°C
In a large bowl, mix together the shrimp, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through.
Arrange tortilla chips in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
Sprinkle shredded cheese over the chips, then add the cooked shrimp on top.
Add diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and jalapeno slices on top of the shrimp.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

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.
