Directions:
- Heat the olive oil in a large heavy skillet and cook the onion, pepper, celery, peppers, and garlic over low heat until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, salt, sugar, chili powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer uncovered for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep mixture from sticking.
- Mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water. Stir the cornstarch into the tomato mixture and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, until the shrimp are done with a pink color. Spoon Shrimp Creole into Tostones and garnish with green onions.
- Special equipment: Old Fashioned Plantain Smasher
- Preheat oil to 350 degrees F.
- Cut plantains down the middle; peel away skin and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces.
- Add plantains to the hot oil and fry until golden; about 2 to 3 minutes. Do not overcook as you want the center to still be raw. Lightly salt.
- *Cook's Note: Check the doneness with a toothpick. The middle of the plantain should still feel starchy and cool.
- Put the fried plantain through the old fashioned smasher. This will make it a cup shape.
- Place the the plantain cup into the deep-fryer and fry again until golden brown and fully firm, about 2 to 3 minutes Drain on a paper towel lined sheet tray. Season with salt.
