Recipe View 3 mins Broil the nachos until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown, approximately 3 minutes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce or a dollop of sour cream or guacamole before serving.
Feel free to substitute other types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or a blend of cheddar cheeses, to suit your preference.
If you don't have andouille sausage, you can use another type of smoked sausage or even chorizo for a similar flavor profile.
Adjust the amount of seafood seasoning to your liking, depending on your spice tolerance. A pinch of cayenne pepper can also add some extra heat.
For a vegetarian option, replace the sausage and shrimp with black beans, corn, and diced sweet potatoes.
These nachos are best served immediately, while the cheese is still melted and the chips are crispy.
