Peel the green plantains and cut them into thick pieces.
Fry the pieces once in hot oil just to soften them, then remove.
Press the plantain pieces into small cup shapes and fry again.
Turn the shrimp in a pan with garlic until pink.
Fill the fried plantain cups with shrimp and serve with cilantro.
💡 Tip: Only soften the plantain slices during the first fry; the shape holds during the second round.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with cilantro leaves on top.
