Tostones stuffed with shrimp and avocado

Season the shrimp with garlic powder (about 1 tablespoon), Old Bay seasoning (about 0.5 tablespoon), and lime juice.

Heat oil in a pan and add the green plantains to fry until the bottom is brown, then flip and fry the other side until brown.

Mash the fried plantains using a flat object or a bottle bottom, then scrape off any excess with a knife.

Continue frying the plantains for 1-2 minutes on each side until fully cooked.

Mash the avocado and add salt and lime juice to taste.

Drain the oil from frying the plantains, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan.

Add the shrimp to the pan and cook until they turn pink, about 3 minutes on one side.

Add chopped spinach, bell pepper, and onion to the shrimp and cook briefly.

Stir in 1 tablespoon of tomato sauce and 2 tablespoons of water, cooking for about 2 minutes until combined.

Assemble the tostones by topping them with the avocado mash and shrimp mixture.
