1     tablespoon    olive oil
2     teaspoons     lime juice
1/4   teaspoon      chili powder
1/4   teaspoon      cumin
                    Salt
2     teaspoons     finely-minced garlic
24    medium        shrimp
                    and rinsed
48    large         flat tortilla chips
1 1/2 cups          Gridiron Guacamole
2                   ripe plum tomatoes
                    cut into 1/4" dice - (or abt 1/2 cup
                    prepared salsa, drained)
3/4   cup           grated Monterey Jack cheese
48                  pickled jalapeño slices
2     tablespoons   chopped parsley or cilantro

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

In a bowl, combine the oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, salt and garlic. Toss with the shrimp; let rest for 15 minutes. Remove shrimp from the marinade. Sauté in a skillet to cook through, about 2 minutes per side. Halve the shrimp lengthwise and set aside, covered, in the refrigerator.
Assemble the nachos in batches: Arrange the tortilla chips on baking sheets; place a shrimp half, cut-side down, on each chip. Top each with 1 teaspoon of guacamole; sprinkle with tomato and cheese, then top with a jalapeño slice. Sprinkle with parsley.
Just before serving, broil the nachos to melt the cheese, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.
This recipe yields 48 nachos.

Comments: Nachos are a perfect party nosh. Prepare your shrimp before the game. During the Super Bowl, assemble small batches of nachos at a time, so you can serve them warm.
