How to Make It:
1. Crisp the Fries
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spread the fries on a baking sheet, season with salt and pepper, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until deeply golden and crisp.
2. Brown the Beef
Warm the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, then season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Sauté the Shrimp
In a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and shrimp, then cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and tender, finishing with lemon juice if desired.
4. Layer the Fries
Arrange the hot fries on a large serving plate. Spoon the seasoned beef over the top, followed by the garlicky shrimp.
