Cajun Shrimp Alfredo Fries
A delightful fusion of crispy fries topped with Cajun-seasoned shrimp and creamy Alfredo sauce.
Equipment
- skillet
- mixing bowl
- baking sheet
- Paper towels
Ingredients
- 1 pound Frozen French fries Or make your own from scratch for a fresher taste.
- 1 pound Shrimp Peeled and deveined. Fresh shrimp is ideal, but frozen works just as well.
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning To give the shrimp that signature spicy kick.
- 2 tablespoons Butter For sautéing the shrimp and adding richness.
- 1 cup Heavy cream To create a creamy Alfredo sauce that coats the fries beautifully.
- 1 cup Shredded Parmesan cheese For that cheesy goodness that melts into the sauce.
- 1 clove Garlic Minced, to enhance the flavor of the sauce.
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley Chopped, for a pop of color and freshness.
Instructions
- Rinse the peeled and deveined shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Toss the shrimp with Cajun seasoning until evenly coated.
- In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually whisk in the shredded Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If too thick, add a splash of milk.
- Cook the frozen fries according to package instructions until crispy. If making homemade fries, cut potatoes into strips and fry or bake until golden.
- Once fries are cooked, season them lightly with salt. On a large platter, arrange the fries in an even layer.
- Drizzle the creamy Alfredo sauce generously over the fries and top with the sautéed Cajun shrimp. Sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Cajun Shrimp Alfredo Fries!
