Can I Use Frozen Shrimp?

Absolutely! Just make sure to thaw them completely before cooking. Pat them dry to remove excess moisture for the best seasoning results.

What’s the Best Cheese for Nachos?

A mix of cheddar and Monterey Jack works wonders. They melt beautifully and offer just the right balance of flavor.

If there are any leftovers (rare, but it happens), store them in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat in the oven to revive the crunch.

Of course! Add extra jalapeños, a sprinkle of cayenne pepper, or drizzle hot sauce for some heat.
