Mofongo Relleno de Camarones – Puerto Rico

Serves 4

Directions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet.

2. Add all the ingredients except the shrimp, and saute over medium heat for 5 minutes.

3. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink. Set aside.

4. Peel the plantains and cut them into ½ inch slices. Heat the oil in a large skillet and fry the plantain slices until golden brown.

5. Drain on paper towels. Mash 5 or 6 plantain slices in a pilón with a little of the stuffing liquid. (If you use a food processor the texture will not be the same.)

6. Fold in 1/2 cup of the shrimp mixture and shape into a ball with your hands. Do the same with the rest of the plantain slices. Serve.
