Senegalese Mofongo with Garlic Shrimp - Senegal traditional dish

🧂 재료

4 large Green plantains(peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces)
2 cups Vegetable oil(for frying)
6 cloves Garlic cloves(minced)
1 cup Pork rinds (chicharrones)(crushed)
1 tsp Salt(or to taste)
1 lb Large shrimp(peeled and deveined)
3 tbsp Olive oil
1 tbsp Lime juice
2 tbsp Fresh parsley(chopped, for garnish)

👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the plantain pieces in batches until golden brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.
2
In a mortar and pestle, combine the minced garlic, crushed pork rinds, and salt. Mash to form a paste.
3
Add the fried plantain pieces to the mortar and pestle with the garlic-pork rind mixture. Mash until well combined and the texture resembles chunky mashed potatoes. If the mixture seems too dry, add a tablespoon of olive oil.
4
In a separate bowl, toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
5
In a skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through.
6
To serve, shape the mofongo mixture into mounds using a small bowl or your hands. Place a mound of mofongo on each plate and top with the garlic shrimp. Garnish with fresh parsley.

💡 전문가 팁

✓Use green, unripe plantains for the best texture.
✓Don't over-mash the plantains; they should retain some texture.
✓If you don't have a mortar and pestle, a sturdy bowl and a potato masher or the back of a spoon can be used.
