Ingredients

Serves: 8

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 1 1/2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 dried chipotle chile
• 1 pound peeled shrimp, finely diced

Preparation method

Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 15 mins

1. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and cook, whisking constantly, for 4 to 5 minutes. Gradually add the milk, stirring until it becomes thick and smooth, about 5 minutes. Add the cheese, and stir until melted and sauce is smooth. Whisk in half of the cumin and season with kosher salt; set aside.

2. Place a skillet over medium heat and add the oil, chile and remaining half of cumin. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the shrimp, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then remove from heat. Remove the chipotle chile before serving.

3. To serve, pile the tortilla chips on a platter and top with the cheese sauce, chipotle shrimp and Hass Avocado Grapefruit Salsa. Garnish with shredded cheese.Note
