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.

Equipment

  • skillet
  • mixing bowl
  • baking sheet
  • Paper towels

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
  3. 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.
  4. Cook the frozen fries according to package instructions until crispy. If making homemade fries, cut potatoes into strips and fry or bake until golden.
  5. Once fries are cooked, season them lightly with salt. On a large platter, arrange the fries in an even layer.
  6. Drizzle the creamy Alfredo sauce generously over the fries and top with the sautéed Cajun shrimp. Sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy your Cajun Shrimp Alfredo Fries!
