Red Lobster Shrimp Nachos

Stephanie — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 13:25:13 +0000

Red Lobster Shrimp Nachos are one of my favorite nachos to serve. I love their combination of Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese served over crisp nacho chips, and then topped with pico de gallo and shrimp. I almost think you can make a meal out of this and another one of their other appetizers for a complete meal. The cheese that tops these nachos is thick and creamy and so much better than just a cheddar cheese sauce. So you are in for a real treat with these nachos.

When I recreated this dish in my own kitchen I made one significant change, when you order this dish in the restaurant, it is served with a much smaller shrimp than what I chose to make here. I used a medium sized shrimp, I wanted a nice big bite of shrimp so this recipe could be served up as a meal, not just an appetizer. When I was playing around with this recipe I tried a couple of things I didn’t put in the final recipe, but I tried lightly brushing the shrimp with a garlic butter sauce and grilling the shrimp. I also tried boiling the shrimp in crab boil. Both of those ways were really good, but when you have the nachos in the restaurant they don’t prepare the shrimp either way.

Hearty Tuna Pie

Stephanie — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 20:44:42 +0000

Hearty Tuna Pie is a unique tuna pie. This tuna pie is made with packaged stuffing mix, then is topped with a light dill and tomato sauce. You can do things with tuna other than tuna salad, and tuna noodle casserole. You can try something new and unique with this Hearty Tuna Pie.

Sometimes you are looking for something different for dinner, and this hearty tuna pie may be exactly what you are looking for. The pie as a whole reheats very well. If you plan on serving this dish over a more than one meal, don’t add the sauce until just before serving.
