French Fries

Method

Preparing the French Fries

  1. 1

    Cutting the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into even sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Soaking the Potatoes

    Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Drying the Potatoes

    Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

  4. 4

    Heating the Oil

    In a heavy pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Frying the Potatoes

    Fry the potatoes in batches for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Seasoning

    While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt to taste.

Cooking the Jumbo Shrimp

  1. 7

    Marinating the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine the shrimp, garlic powder, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat and let marinate for 10-15 minutes.

  2. 8

    Melting the Butter

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it starts bubbling.

  3. 9

    Cooking the Shrimp

    Add the marinated jumbo shrimp to the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
