Begin by heating the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the sliced green plantains and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
In a mixing bowl, combine the fried plantains with the minced garlic and salt. Mash the mixture until it reaches a chunky yet cohesive consistency.
While mashing the plantains, prepare the stewed shrimp according to your favorite recipe, ensuring they are well-seasoned and cooked through.
To serve, mold the mashed plantains into a bowl shape on a plate and create a small well in the center. Spoon the stewed shrimp into the well. Garnish with additional minced garlic or parsley if desired.
