Reviews
I will definitely make this dish again. Although I couldn’t find the sausage called for, it was delicious. I used keilbosa instead. Next time I’m going to substitute cheddar cheese for a more cheesy flavor and try to get the correct sausage.
Made this for 4th of July and it was a hit. I put the nachos in a big round pizza pan and used cheddar in addition to jack and longhorn cheeses. It was delicious. I used Cajun seasoning on the shrimp instead of seafood seasoning. It was delicious!
No changes, but next time I will use sharp cheddar. It was too bland with the shrimp and sausage.
Made this last night for dinner and we ate it all. Yumm! Already planning to make it as an appetizer when getting together with friends. Thanks for sharing!
Simple and easy to make. Will try it on our next camping trip, on the coals.
