Tilapia and Shrimp

French Fries

Method

Preparing the Tilapia and Shrimp

  1. 1

    Marinate the Tilapia

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the tilapia fillets and coat them well. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a little olive oil. Once hot, add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Tilapia

    In the same skillet, add more olive oil if needed. Place the marinated tilapia fillets in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked through and golden brown. Remove from heat.

Making French Fries

  1. 4

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin strips to create fries. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.

  2. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 6

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the potato strips to the hot oil in small batches. Fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fries and drain them on paper towels.

  4. 7

    Season the Fries

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