Tips for making Air Frying seafood nachos

- Prepare your seafood: If using fresh seafood, clean and devein the shrimp, remove any shells or bones, and chop the lobster or crab meat into bite-sized pieces. If using frozen seafood, make sure to thaw it first and pat it dry.

- Prepare the nachos: Arrange tortilla chips in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Top with your seasoned seafood and shredded cheese.

- Add toppings: Once the seafood is cooked, remove it from the air fryer and begin building your nachos. Add toppings like diced tomatoes, sliced jalapenos, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice for added flavor.
