CRAB, AVOCADO AND MANGO SALSA NACHOS RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• 1 Chop the mangoes, tomatoes, and cucumbers and place in a small bowl. Squeeze some lime juice over the top and mix well. 2 Mash up the avocados in another bowl, squeeze juice from half of a lemon along with a dash of salt and pepper and mix well. 3 In yet another bowl, mix the crab with the yogurt, and stir in the juice from the other half of the lime. Add the Old Bay seasoning and mix well. 4 If you want to toast your chips before serving, place them onto a foil lined baking sheet, toss with some oil, and bake for about 5-7 minutes at 350. I served mine as is. 5 Place chips onto a serving platter or plates and spoon the avocado mixture into the center of the chips, followed by the crab mixture on the top of the avocados, and then encircle the avocado and crab with the tomato mango salsa.

FRESH CRAB NACHOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream until smooth. Gently stir in the crabmeat, scallions, chiles, lime zest, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper and set aside.
• Distribute half of the corn chips on a large (12 × 18 × 2-inch) ovenproof serving platter (or a sheet pan). Spoon half of the crab mixture over the chips in dollops and then sprinkle with half of the Cheddar, half of the Monterey Jack, and all of the pickled jalapeños. Sprinkle with the remaining chips, then distribute the remaining crab mixture and cheeses on top. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
• Meanwhile, prepare the topping. In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, onion, jalapeño pepper, lime juice, olive oil, avocado, parsley, and 1 teaspoon salt. Spoon onto the nachos, sprinkle with lime juice, and serve hot.

CRAB AVOCADO MANGO STACK

Steps:

• Mix last 8 ingredients (mayo through Tabasco), & refrigerate.
• Use a dual open ended cylindrical mold to form the stacks. (If you don't have a mold, use an empty clean soup or veggie can with both ends removed.) Place the mold onto the serving plate.
• (use half of the ingredients in each mold).
• Gently push down the avocado slices into the bottom of the mold.
• Mix together the mango, jalapeno, red bell pepper, & red onion, then gently push down on top of the avocado layer.
• Gently toss the crab with the refrigerated mayo mix (remoulade), then gently push down on top of the mango layer.
• Carefully slide the mold off of the stack and chill until ready to serve.
• Serve cold.

SARASOTA'S SEAFOOD NACHOS WITH MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 350, middle shelf. I use a large 13x9" pan or baking dish, but you can also make these in individual foil pouches as well and just set them on a baking sheet. Make sure to spray the pan or foil pouches with a non stick spray. I often line the casserole dish or pan with parchment for even easier clean up.
• Mango Salsa -- In a small bowl, mix the mango, red pepper, scallions, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper and toss well to combine. Set to the side, cover and refrigerate for 1-4 hours to combine the flavors. This is better made ahead, but not necessary.
• Sauce -- In a medium size sauce pan, add the butter, garlic, shallots and cook 2 minutes on medium heat. Then add in the flour and whisk well until combined and cook another minute to get rid of the flour taste. Add in the cream and season with salt and pepper. Add in the shrimp, scallops or lobster, etc (any un-cooked seafood) and cook 2-3 minutes until done. Slowly add in the cream and cumin and bring to a medium heat. The sauce will begin to thicken. Add in the crab meat and lightly stir and reduce to low heat and just let it simmer. The sauce is done. Make sure to check for seasoning - salt and pepper if necessary. Next, the chips and cheese just take a few minutes.
• Base -- As the sauce is cooking, spread 1/2 of the chips in the pan, dish or in the foil pouches and top with 1/2 of the monterey jack, pepper jack and cheddar cheeses. Bake 2-4 minutes until melted. Remove from the oven and top with 1/2 of the seafood sauce and add another layer of chips and the remainder of cheese and sauce, top with the parmesan and bake another 3-4 minutes.
• Serve -- If I serve them in individual pouches I let each person garnish their own dish. But I do put a big spoon of the mango salsa and lime slice right on top of the melted cheese. If family style, I like to serve them over a big plate of shredded lettuce and then top with the mango salsa, sour cream, olives and a lime slice which happen to be my favorites. Just don't forget the mango salsa and feel free to use any toppings you like.
• As I said, serve them as appetizers or as a main dish. Try some sliders on the side for a fun movie or game night with friends. A few beers or wine and dessert and you have a fun unique dinner. And it is really quick to make believe it or not. ENJOY!
