How to make Parmesan Basil Shrimp Poutine:

• Dice the green onion and set aside.
• Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan and simmer on medium low, about 15 minutes, until cream is reduced by half.
• Stir in the Parmesan cheese, basil, salt and pepper. Lower the heat and keep warm while you prepare the shrimp and fries.
• Heat the oil in a high sided pan on medium-high heat or a deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 C).
• Deep fry the French fries about 5 minutes until crisp. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Set aside.
• Rinse the shrimp and pat dry with paper towel.
• Sprinkle the shrimp with Old Bay seasoning to taste.
• Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add the butter until melted.
• Cook the shrimp, stirring often, until pink and opaque, about 5 minutes and drain.
• Place the French fries in two 18.6 ounce oven safe baking dishes, divided evenly.
• Top the fries with the shrimp, divided evenly.
• Pour the cream sauce over the shrimp, divided evenly.
• Sprinkle in the cheese curds and green onion if desired.
• Broil for 3 – 5 minutes until cheese curds are melted. Serve on trivets or pot holders to protect tables or counter tops.
