Ingredients

• 1 cup Shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
• 2 teaspoons Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Pepper Jack cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 can Canned diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel), drained
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
• 1 bag or loaf Tortilla chips or bread (for dipping)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Step 4

Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour into the skillet and whisk it into the butter mixture. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste, stirring constantly.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the heavy cream while whisking to create a smooth sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Lower the heat to medium-low and add the shredded Pepper Jack and Cheddar cheeses, stirring until melted and fully incorporated.

Step 8

Stir in the diced tomatoes with green chilies, cayenne pepper, paprika, and salt. Mix well to combine flavors.

Step 9

Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, stirring to coat them evenly in the sauce.

Step 10

Transfer the shrimp fondue to a serving dish and garnish with sliced green onions.

Step 11

Serve immediately with tortilla chips or slices of bread for dipping. Enjoy!
