For the Fries

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F.
  2. In a bowl, toss the cut russet potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
  3. Rub olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper into the ribeye steaks. Allow them to rest at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
Cooking
  1. For the fries, bake them in the preheated oven until golden brown and crispy.
  2. Heat a skillet over high heat until hot. Sear the steaks for 4–5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adding butter for basting in the last minute.
  3. In another skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Then, add the shrimp, paprika, salt, and pepper, cooking until the shrimp are pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  4. Finish the shrimp with lemon juice and chopped parsley.
Serving
  1. Arrange the grilled ribeye steak on a plate alongside the garlic butter shrimp and crispy seasoned fries. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes
