Cooking Tips

• You can use pre-cooked shrimp for a quicker preparation.
• Feel free to add other toppings such as sliced black olives, diced red onions, or chopped bell peppers.
• For a spicier kick, add hot sauce or crushed red pepper flakes to the avocado sauce.

Storage and Serving

• Loaded Shrimp Nachos are best served immediately while the cheese is still melted and gooey.
• If you have leftovers, store the shrimp and toppings separately from the tortilla chips to prevent them from becoming soggy.
• Reheat the shrimp and toppings in the microwave or oven, and assemble the nachos just before serving.
