Garlic Tostones with Cilantro Mojo
Sautéed garlic shrimp served over crispy twice-fried green plantains and drizzled with a vibrant, zesty cilantro mojo sauce.
INGREDIENTS
1 medium green plantain
7 oz raw shrimp
0.5 tbsp avocado oil
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 clove garlic
0.25 cup fresh cilantro
1 tbsp lime juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp ground cumin
PREPARATION
Peel the plantain and cut into 1-inch thick rounds.
Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat and lightly fry plantain rounds for 2-3 minutes per side until softened.
Remove plantains and flatten them using a tostonera or the bottom of a heavy glass.
Return flattened plantains to the skillet and fry until golden and crispy on both sides.
In a small blender, pulse cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, one garlic clove, and a pinch of salt to create the mojo.
Season shrimp with cumin, remaining garlic, salt, and pepper, then sauté in the same skillet until pink and opaque.
Top the crispy tostones with the sautéed shrimp and a generous drizzle of the zesty cilantro mojo.
