Method

Shrimp Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the jumbo shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Let the shrimp marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the cooked shrimp.

Fries Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into fries (about 1/4 inch thick) and soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  2. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the correct temperature.

  3. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with a paper towel. Carefully add them to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  4. 6

    Season the Fries

    While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, black pepper, and paprika to taste. Toss to coat evenly.
