Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups (6 oounces) shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
  • 1 (4-ounce) can diced green chili peppers, drained
  • 1 (2 1/4 ounce) can sliced pitted ripe olives, drained
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 (4 1/2-ounce) can baby shrimp, rinsed and drained (or use fresh shrimp, cooked and chopped - even better)
  • 36-40 tortilla chips

Directions
  1. In a large bowl, combine cheese, chili peppers, olives, green onions, and mayonnaise.
  2. Gently fold in shrimp.
  3. Arrange about 20 tortilla chips on a 12-inch microwave-safe platter.
  4. Top each chip with a rounded teaspoon of the cheese mixture.
  5. Microwave, uncovered, on 100% power (HIGH) for 1 to 2 minutes or until cheese is melted, giving the plate a half-turn after 1 minute.
  6. Repeat with remaining chips and cheese mixture.
  7. Makes 36-40 chips or 12 appetizer servings.
  8. NOTE: These can also be baked in the oven. Preheat oven to 375 F and bake for 7 to 8 minutes or just until cheese is melted.

Adding the shrimp makes a nice change.. thanks for a good post


I like this even without the shrimp, but Peeta's right the shrimp does make a nice change. Thanks.


The shrimp is good, but the mayo adds a nice little tangy bite that's interesting, too. The ingredients come together in a good combination. Thanks so much for your comments! =)


Mnyam-mnyam :)


Never thought about adding shrimp or mayo, will try this sometime. Thanks for sharing.
