Step 1
Start fries in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, following package directions. Transfer to a plate when golden.
Step 2
Pat ribs dry and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 3
Add butter to the same skillet over medium-high heat. Once foaming, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Warm rice and roasted vegetables in a separate pot or microwave while ribs finish cooking.
Step 6
Plate ribs with fries, rice, and vegetables. Squeeze lime over everything and serve hot.
