Shrimp Preparation

Method

Shrimp Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Shrimp

    In a mixing bowl, combine the large shrimp with garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Toss until the shrimp are evenly coated. Allow to marinate for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cooking the Shrimp

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.

Chips Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Preheat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a deep pot to 350°F (175°C). While the oil is heating, slice the scrubbed potatoes into thin wedges.

  2. 4

    Fry the Chips

    Once the oil is hot, carefully add the potato wedges in batches. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the chips and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Season with salt immediately.

Tartar Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Mix the Tartar Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, dill pickle relish, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving platter, arrange the crispy chips and top with the cooked shrimp. Serve with the chilled tartar sauce on the side.
