Fried Plantain Cups
Method
Preparation
Make the Fried Plantain Cups
Peel the ripe plantains and cut them into thick slices. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Fry the plantain slices until they are golden brown and soft (about 3-4 minutes per side). Remove from oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. While still warm, use a small cup or pestle to press each slice into a cup shape.
Make the Spicy Crab Salad
In a separate bowl, combine the cooked crab meat, mayonnaise, sriracha, lime juice, and chopped green onions. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble the Dish
Fill each fried plantain cup with the mixed protein filling. Top with a generous spoonful of spicy crab salad.
