Method
Prepare the Seafood
Chop the Seafood
If not already done, chop the cooked shrimp, crab meat, and scallops into bite-sized pieces.
Make the Cheese Sauce
Add Milk
Slowly pour in the milk while continuously whisking to avoid lumps. Continue cooking until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
Add Cheese and Seasonings
Stir in the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, salt, black pepper, and chili powder. Keep stirring until the cheese has completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
Assemble the Nachos
Layer the Chips
On a large baking sheet, spread the corn tortilla chips evenly.
Add Seafood
Evenly distribute the chopped shrimp, crab meat, and scallops over the tortilla chips.
Pour Cheese Sauce
Drizzle the cheese sauce generously over the seafood and chips.
Add Fresh Toppings
Top with diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, chopped green onions, and cilantro.
Final Bake
Bake the Nachos
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the assembled nachos in the oven for about 10-15 minutes until heated through and cheese is bubbly.
Serve
Remove from the oven and serve immediately with a side of sour cream for dipping.
