Ingredients

• 1 large (16-ounce) bag corn tortilla chips
• 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar
• 2 cups shredded Pepper Jack cheese
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 8 ounces lump crabmeat, picked clean of shells, chopped
• 1/2 pound shrimp, boiled, peeled, deveined, and tails removed, chopped

• 1 cup pico de gallo, for topping
• 10 to 12 pickled jalapeno slices, for topping

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large baking pan or cast iron pan place a layer of the tortilla chips and cover with the shredded Cheddar and Pepper Jack cheeses. Bake the chips for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheeses are melted. Remove the dish from the oven and set aside.

In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter and saute the garlic until soft. Add the crabmeat, shrimp, and scallops and saute for 3 minutes.

Add the cream, garlic powder, Parmesan, salt and pepper, to taste, to the seafood and stir for 2 to 3 minutes, until the sauce has thickened.

Remove the seafood mixture from the heat and pour over the tortilla chips. Top the nachos with shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, jalapenos, and a large dollop of sour cream. Serve immediately.
