Set up as many tortilla chips as will fit on a metal pan, preferably one with a rim. (A pizza pan works well.) Squirt about 1/8 teaspoon of the sauce onto each chip. Top with about a tablespoon of seafood. Squirt another teaspoon of the sauce over the seafood. Top with about a teaspoon of the shredded cheese.
