Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cook the 3 cups frozen french fries according to package directions, about 15-20 minutes, until golden and crispy.

  2. Step 2

    While fries cook, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the 1 lb shrimp and 4 minced garlic cloves; cook until shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove shrimp to a plate.

  3. Step 3

    In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and 2 cups frozen corn. Cook, stirring, until corn is tender and lightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Return shrimp to skillet with corn, toss to combine, and cook for 1 minute until heated through. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. Step 5

    Serve shrimp and corn with fries and lime wedges for squeezing over. Garnish with chopped parsley or green onion if you have them.
