Shrimply the Best!

This is a great football party appetizer!

Restaurants get crazy with their appetizers…try this recipe to “ make over dish”

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp. light plain soymilk
• Dash cumin
• Dash chili powder, or more to taste
• 1/4 cup shredded fat-free cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 wedge The Laughing Cow Light Creamy Swiss cheese
• 3 oz. ready-to-eat small/bay shrimp or chicken
• 2 oz. (about 30) baked tortilla chips (like Guiltless Gourmet or Baked! Tostitos Scoops! Or Garden of Eating Blue corn chips)
• 1/4 cup fresh salsa or pico de gallo
• 1 jalapeño pepper, sliced into rings – don’t touch the eyes!
• 1/4 cup fat-free sour cream

Directions:
In a medium pot, combine soymilk, cumin, and chili powder. Add all three cheeses, breaking the cheese wedge into pieces. Bring to medium-low heat. Cook and stir until sauce is hot and uniform, about 5 minutes. Stir in shrimp and cook and stir until hot, about 3 minutes.

Evenly lay chips on a large microwave-safe plate. Microwave for 30 seconds, or until warm.

Give cheese-shrimp mixture a stir, and spoon over chips. Top with salsa or pico de gallo, jalapeño slices, and sour cream. Consume immediately!
