Step 1
Cook the 0.75 lb frozen french fries according to package directions, usually 15-20 minutes in a 425°F oven, until golden and crisp.
Step 2
While fries cook, pat the 0.5 lb shrimp dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook until pink and opaque, about 2 minutes per side. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the shrimp and toss with 1 tbsp chopped parsley. Serve the shrimp alongside the fries with extra lemon wedges if desired.
Step 5
Enjoy immediately while hot and crispy.
