Grab a Margarita because we have the perfect nachos for you!  With three layers of chips, queso, shrimp and southern toppings, these nachos are better than any restaurant. The key to these nachos is our Spicy Crab Queso made with Big T Spicy Crab Dip. It gives your standard queso a burst of Lowcountry flavor that’s to die for on our Southern Shrimp Nachos. Nachos at home are the perfect snack any day of the week!
