You are going to love the bold, fresh flavors of these Spicy Blackened Shrimp Skillet Nachos!

I am SO into nachos. Always have been. We make them A LOT in our house and I never hear complaining. Like, never ever.

These nachos may just be my new favorite. First of all let’s talk about the shrimp. Shrimp just makes these nachos seem so decadent. It also makes these nachos appealing to adults. Especially shrimp-loving adults like myself.

5 SECRETS TO GETTING DINNER ON THE TABLE...FAST!

The best part about this recipe isn’t even the shrimp though, it’s how easy the nachos are to make. There are just a few ingredients needed and they take approximately 7 minutes to make. Yep. SEVEN minutes. Maybe less…

I made these nachos in a cast-iron skillet. It makes it super easy to throw the nachos in the oven for a few minutes (baking or broiling) to get that cheese all melted and perfect. Super easy.

And let’s talk about the cheese. I used KRAFT Shredded Triple Cheddar Cheese with a TOUCH OF PHILADELPHIA. Extra-creamy and the cheese melts beautifully – perfect for nachos.

If you’re worried about the spice level, just adjust the amount of jalapeno to your family’s tastes – or eliminate entirely. These nachos will definitely be a repeat for our family. Everyone enjoyed zesty flavors and the shrimp is a nice change of pace.

The bold,  fresh flavors of the jalapenos, cilantro, and green onions are exactly what these nachos need on top. Just delicious.
