Fried Plantains

This is one way to prepare plantains to make a special meal.

Good Evenin, everyone!

I hope that this awesome weather is treating you right. Yes it has started to cool down here in North Florida and if I could I would turn cartwheels, down the street!

I have had a craving for a Caribbean shrimp dinner, so I began prepping and it did take me 2 hours to prepare and finish cooking the dish. So you would do well to start prepping the day before and then this would go together really fast.

For this post, I am showing you how I prepared the plantains by washing and slicing and then peeling and frying them. They do not have to be fried to a dark brown as they lose some of their sweetness.

When you buy them they are like green bananas so if you see some with yellow and brown on them, pick those. Or let them hang around the kitchen until yellow and brown, they will not be soft like bananas.

You could also prepare the mango salsa the day before if you wish to make the recipe (August 2021) archives.

That’s all, folks. as this was about the plantains. If, you need the full Caribbean recipe then scroll to the bottom of this post for my August Archives of this year.

Thanks for your time. Connie B.
