Shrimp and Fries

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

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

  2. 2

    Cut and Soak the Potatoes

    While the shrimp marinates, cut the potatoes into fry shapes. Soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Fries

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (175°C). Drain the potatoes and pat them dry. Carefully add them to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, sprinkling with salt.

  4. 4

    Grill the Shrimp

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and grill for about 2-3 minutes per side, until they are opaque and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the grilled shrimp alongside the house-cut fries. Enjoy!
