If you’re craving something indulgent, satisfying, and full of bold flavor, Loaded Surf & Turf Fries are your answer. This dish combines the best of both land and sea—tender steak bites and succulent garlic shrimp—all generously layered over a bed of crispy golden fries and smothered in melted cheese. It’s the kind of appetizer that turns heads at a party, or a main dish that satisfies every comfort food craving in one bite.
Surf and turf might traditionally belong on a white-tablecloth menu, but this version makes it fun, fast, and weeknight-friendly. The beauty of this recipe is how approachable it is: a skillet, an oven, and a few staple ingredients come together to create a dish that feels restaurant-worthy without the fuss. Whether you’re entertaining guests or looking to treat yourself, these fries bring a luxurious touch to your table with minimal effort.
The sizzling steak is seasoned simply with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, seared to your desired doneness, and then paired with shrimp that’s cooked in a garlicky butter sauce. Both components are flavorful on their own, but when served atop crispy fries and oozing cheese, they become utterly irresistible. Each bite is rich, satisfying, and balanced with a touch of freshness from chopped parsley.
