Just my version of a twist on nachos. You can use purchased chips for this, or bake or fry your own. I do the latter and season them with a spicy salt mixture when they come outta the oil.

Ingredients
  • 1lb small raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 large bell pepper, orange, yellow or red, chopped
  • 2 scallions, chopped(or 1/2 small onion, or 3 green onions, chopped)
  • 8oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups pepperjack cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup green olives, sliced(or you can add rinsed and drained capers, instead)
  • 1/2t cumin
  • 1/2t chili pepper(also add cayenne for extra heat)
  • 1/2t garlic powder
  • 1/2t onion powder
  • 2T butter
  • 2T olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • sour cream
  • cilantro or parsley
  • squirt of fresh lemon juice
  • chips*
  • *again, you can use purchased tortilla chips or fry or bake your own---I fry my own and season them*

Directions
  1. In large skillet, melt butter and olive oil. Add scallions, mushrooms, bell pepper and shrimp. Hit with a dash of lemon juice.
  2. Add cumin, chili pepper, garlic and onion powders and salt and pepper and toss while cooking, cooking until shrimp is pink and veggies are tender.
  3. Layer chips on serving plate and top with shredded cheese.
  4. When shrimp/veggie mixture is done, immediately put on top of cheese(using a slotted spoon, if needed, depending on moisture content). This will partially melt the cheese, and it's how I recommend doing it...you don't really want to bake these to melt the cheese.
  5. Top with green olives, sour cream and cilantro or parsley
