Method

Shrimp Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    Peel and devein the large shrimp, leaving the tails intact. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

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

Fries Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to make fries.

  2. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Ensure there is enough oil to fully submerge the fries.

  3. 6

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the potato strips to the hot oil in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  4. 7

    Season the Fries

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