Now, sauté 1 green bell pepper (sliced), 1 red bell pepper (sliced), and 1 medium onion (sliced) until soft and lightly charred.
3-While the proteins cook, prepare the 1 bag of frozen fries as per the package, baking them for a crispy base. Layer the cooked fries on a tray, then add the steak strips, vegetables, and shrimp on top. Drizzle the Cajun cream sauce over everything and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons chopped parsley.
