👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Peel the green plantains and cut them into large chunks. Boil in salted water until very tender, about 20-25 minutes. Drain well.
2
Mash the boiled plantains until smooth. You can use a potato masher or pass them through a food mill. Let cool slightly.
3
While the plantains cook, prepare the filling. Heat achiote oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and bell pepper and sauté until softened.
4
Add the minced garlic, chopped shrimp, peanut butter, cilantro, parsley, salt, pepper, and cumin. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through. The mixture should be moist but not watery. Let cool completely.
5
Divide the plantain mash into portions. Flatten each portion into a disc in your palm. Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the shrimp filling in the center.
6
Carefully enclose the filling with the plantain dough, shaping it into an oval or round empanada. Pinch the edges to seal.
7
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or pot over medium-high heat. Carefully fry the empanadas in batches until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
