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