Nachos are not just for snacking! These easy to make, flavor-packed Shrimp Nachos are hearty enough for mealtime. Made with fresh & filling ingredients like shrimp, cilantro, salsa, beans, and more. This post is a sponsored post for SheSpeaks/Pace®.
Happy February! It seems like the winter is flaying by around here , but that is ok. I am admittedly ready for the spring and all the fun the warmer weather brings.
One of my family’s favorite foods to enjoy for not just an appetizer, but also a meal happens to be nachos. It might sound funny, but nachos are our way of enjoying all the goodness a taco has in an easier to eat and serve format.
But, since these nachos are for dinner, we had to make sure they were super filling and flavorful because this family loves some spicy goodness!
We picked up everything we needed at our local Walmart for the best prices possible!
Check out what you will need to recreate this goodness below!
Ingredients
- 8 ounces of raw shrimp
- spices (see recipe card for details)
- olive oil
- 12 ounces corn tortilla chips
- 24 ounces Pace Chunky, Salsa Medium
- 1 1/2 cups Mexican Blend Shredded Cheese
- 3 tbsps. chopped cilantro
- 15 ounces black beans rinsed, and drained
- 1 tomato seeded, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion diced
- 1 avocado diced
- 4 ounces black olives
More Dinner Nacho Toppings
- Greek yogurt
- Sour cream
- Green onion

Pace Chunky Salsa
If you are looking for a jarred salsa option that is not watery or lackluster in flavor, Pace Chunky Salsa in Medium is perfect. It contains just the right amount of heat that bold but still family friendly. You can find it at Walmart in hot, medium, and mild.
If you love jalapeños, they are king when it comes to Pace salsa. Whether you’re using it to dip or in your favorite dip recipe, the big chunks of crisp onions and hand-picked jalapeños are sure to add a delicious kick to your eating experience each and every time. We love it on our tacos, nachos, burritos, and as a quick and low-calorie snack!
Nachos for Dinner
Our family has done taco nights in the past, but nachos nights are just more fun. One large skillet of nachos feeds us all comfortably thanks to the filling fiber of the beans, salsa, and the extra veggies and fresh toppings like avocado. Of course, you can customize these nachos to what your family might enjoy, but shrimp + Pace salsa is a match made in foodie heaven! The flavor combos were so good!
Find everything you need to recreate this yummy meal at your local Walmart store.

I could make a meal out of these nachos. I haven’t had nachos in ages. Pace is the only salsa we buy. It’s our fave.
