Finely chop shallots and combine with crab meat in a bowl.

Use a very ripened mango, cut both sides with a chef's knife, score the inside into cubes, and scoop them into the crab mixture.

Cut the avocado in half, remove the seed, score the inside, and scoop out the cubes into the crab mixture.

Add Sasson seasoning and lime juice to the crab mixture and mix well.

Peel green plantains by cutting off the edges, making a slit down one end, and using fingers to pull the skin off.

Cut the plantains into 1-inch pieces.

Preheat vegetable oil in an IMUSA sauté pan to about 350°F.

Fry the plantain pieces until one side is brown, then flip them over.

Remove fried plantains and place them on paper towels to drain.

Mash each fried plantain piece using the bottom of the sauté pan to flatten them.

Refry the flattened plantains until golden brown and crispy.

Serve the tostones topped with the mango, crab, and avocado mixture.
