Instructions

  • Clean shrimp and wash well with cold water, drain. Season shrimp with Goya Adobo, lime juice, garlic, soy sauce and oregano. Let sit for a couple of hours if you can but it is best overnight.
  • Heat skillet with oil on low to medium heat. Add onions and peppers. Stir for about 5 minutes or until they are becoming tender.
  • Add beer. It should produce a slight foam as you add it. Stir and let cook for about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add tomato sauce, olives and stir for another 5 minutes.
  • Add shrimp and cook for 7 to 10 minutes for medium size shrimp. You'll be able to tell that shrimp is done because it will no longer be translucent.
  • Serve with white rice.

If making the Shrimp Plantain Cups....

  • Fry the cups as directed on the package.
  • Chop shrimp into small pieces.
  • Stuff plantain cups with the chopped shrimp.
  • And serve!
