During March, Mr. Flavor Mosaic commandeers the remote control to watch the big basketball tournament. With football season over, Mr. Flavor Mosaic turns his enthusiasm to basketball. He loves the fast paced nature of the game, and the college rivalries. In March, the excitement builds as the big college basketball event comes to a climax with the count down to the final game. It gives him another reason to talk smack with his buddies.  (As if he needs one!)

While I enjoy the basketball games, I mainly enjoy time with my family and friends, as well as the food, of course. I always make sure to have some yummy munchies on hand to watch the game. My Tijuana Shrimp Dip Nachos are a fan favorite for a game day appetizer.

I always make sure to have some cans of RO*TEL Diced Tomatoes in the pantry. My favorites are the Original and the Mexican style with Lime & Cilantro. For this recipe, I used the Mexican style RO*TEL, but Original would work well also.

To make the Tijuana Shrimp Dip Nachos recipe, you will need small, uncooked shrimp, RO*TEL Diced Tomatoes, sour cream, mayonnaise, shredded cheddar cheese and gouda (or your favorite cheese).

Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat, add shrimp, garlic, and red pepper flakes and cook for a couple of minutes until the shrimp are no longer pink.

Stir in the sour cream and mayonnaise. Then the drained RO*TEL Diced Tomatoes. Then stir in the Cheddar and Gouda cheeses.

It will create a creamy, cheesy sauce with the shrimp, tomatoes, and chilies.

Spread a layer of thick, sturdy tortilla chips on a serving plate. Spoon the cheesy shrimp sauce over the nachos, and sprinkle with extra cheese. You can either place it under the broiler for a minute or two or in the microwave for 30 seconds to melt the cheese.
