Preparation:

Step 1:

Begin by preparing the French fries. Follow the instructions on the package if you’re using frozen fries, or prepare homemade fries by cutting potatoes into strips and baking or frying them until golden and crispy. Set aside once done.

Step 2:

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.

Step 3:

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as this can make it taste bitter.

Step 4:

Once the garlic is fragrant, add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet. Cook the shrimp for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are fully cooked through. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper to taste as they cook.

Step 5:

Remove the shrimp from the heat once fully cooked and set aside.

Step 6:

On a large serving dish, spread the prepared fries evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the fries.

Step 7:

Place the cooked garlic shrimp over the top of the fries and cheese. The heat from the shrimp will help the cheese melt, creating a gooey, delicious layer.

Step 8:

Drizzle the sour cream over the fries and shrimp. You can use a piping bag or a small spoon for even distribution.

Step 9:

Garnish the entire dish with chopped green onions and fresh parsley for added flavor and color.
