@the.foodie.fix3: Creamy Garlic Shrimp Fries with Cheese Sauce Ingredients For the Shrimp 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined 2 tablespoons butter 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/2 teaspoon paprika 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon lemon juice For the Fries 1 pound frozen French fries 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/2 teaspoon paprika 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder Salt, to taste For the Creamy Cheese Sauce 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 1/4 cup cream cheese 1/4 teaspoon paprika 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder Salt and black pepper, to taste 1–2 tablespoons diced jalapeños or mild green chilies, optional Instructions 1\. Prepare the fries according to the package instructions, baking or air-frying until golden and crispy. If using fresh potatoes, cut them into fries, toss with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, and salt, then bake at 425°F (220°C) for 25–35 minutes, turning halfway through. 2\. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Season with paprika, black pepper, and salt. 3\. Heat the olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. 4\. Add the minced garlic and lemon juice. Stir for about 30 seconds, coating the shrimp in the garlic butter. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, then remove from the heat. 5\. To make the cheese sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute. 6\. Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. 7\. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the cream cheese until smooth, then add the shredded cheddar a handful at a time. Mix until melted and creamy. 8\. Season the cheese sauce with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the diced jalapeños or green chilies if desired. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more milk. 9\. Arrange the crispy fries on a large serving plate. Pour the warm creamy cheese sauce over the fries, then arrange the garlic butter shrimp on top. 10\. Garnish with extra chopped parsley and a pinch of paprika. Serve immediately while the fries are crispy, the shrimp are warm, and the cheese sauce is smooth.#CapCut
