  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

For the plantain taco shells:

  • Preheat oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a high-powered blender or food processor, add diced plantains, egg, coconut oil, and salt. Blend until combined. Add water in teaspoon increments, until a smooth batter-like mix remains.
  • Using a spoon, spread the plantain batter into an even round circle. Bake 5-6 minutes, remove from oven and flip (if sticks to parchment, bake 1-2 more minutes). Flip and bake 3-4 more minutes. May need to do this in batches. Remove and cool.

For the shrimp tacos:

  • In a bowl, combine cabbage and vinegar. Mix well to combine and set aside.
  • Combine shrimp, chili powder, lime juice and garlic. Mix well.
  • To a skillet, add oil on medium heat. Once hot, add shrimp in a single layer. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until shrimp is no longer pink.
  • Combine mayonnaise and lime juice in a small bowl.
  • To each plantain shell, add a handful of slaw, shrimp, and mayo-lime sauce. Garnish with fresh cilantro and jalapeno, if desired.
