About Tostones with shrimp

Tostones with shrimp is a flavorful dish rooted in Caribbean and Latin American cuisine. It features crispy, twice-fried green plantains topped with seasoned shrimp, often sautéed with garlic, onions, peppers, and citrus juice. Tostones are made by frying slices of plantain, smashing them flat, and frying them again to achieve a crunchy texture. While plantains are rich in fiber, vitamins A and C, and potassium, the frying process adds extra calories and fats, making portion control important. The shrimp offer a lean source of protein and essential nutrients like selenium and vitamin B12, making it a nutritious topping. The dish balances savory, tangy, and slightly sweet flavors and is typically enjoyed as an appetizer or snack. For a healthier twist, bake the tostones instead of frying and opt for fresh, unprocessed seasonings for the shrimp.
