Lynn's Shrimp Nachos

 

1 lb Large shrimp shelled, deveined 
1/4 cup Olive oil 
MARINADE 
1/2 cup Lime juice 
1 tbl Minced fresh ginger 
2 x Garlic cloves thinly sliced 
1 tbl Finely-chopped cilantro 
1 pch Red pepper flakes 
SALSA 
1 x Tomato seeded and diced 
3 x Green onions finely chopped 
    Juice of 1 lime 
1 tbl Finely-chopped cilantro 
    Coarse salt 
8 oz Tortilla chips 
3 cup Refried black beans 
1 cup Grated anejo cheese 

 Method : 
In a non-reactive bowl, combine marinade ingredients. Add shrimp, toss to coat, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Heat the 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the shrimp and saute, stirring and shaking the pan to prevent sticking, until cooked, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer shrimp to a large bowl to cool.
When cool, chop shrimp coarsely. Add tomato, green onions, lime juice, cilantro and salt to shrimp and toss to mix.
Preheat the broiler. Spread tortilla chips out in an oven-proof platter. Spoon the black beans over the chips and sprinkle with cheese. Place under the broiler until cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
