Notes

This recipe uses high-quality extra virgin olive oil for better flavor. Don't overcrowd the skillet when frying potatoes; cook in batches if necessary. Always taste as you go and adjust seasoning gradually. Store leftovers separately in airtight containers and reheat carefully. For a vegetarian option, replace shrimp with sautéed mushrooms or roasted cauliflower. The aioli is best served fresh, but can be made ahead; just store separately until serving.
