02 -
3 tablespoons honey
03 -
4 cloves garlic, finely minced or pressed

# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin, uniformly sized strips.
02 -
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potato strips and cook for 5 minutes. Drain immediately and pat dry with paper towels until thoroughly dry.
03 -
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy frying pan to 350°F (180°C). Fry potatoes in batches until golden brown and crisp, about 5–7 minutes. Do not overcrowd the pan. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels and season with salt and pepper while hot.
04 -
In a large bowl, combine honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and chili flakes. Add shrimp and toss to evenly coat. Set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.
05 -
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until shrimp are pink, just opaque, and slightly caramelized. Do not overcook.
06 -
Arrange crispy fries onto plates. Top with sautéed spicy honey garlic shrimp and drizzle with any remaining sauce from the pan. Serve immediately.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Drying the potatoes thoroughly after boiling ensures maximum crispiness when frying.
02 -
Adjust chili flakes to control the heat level.
