Music

1. We'll start by frying the plantain. First, cut it into medium-sized cubes, then fry it in a pan with a little oil until golden brown and caramelized. Set aside.

2. We place a base of tostones. We add some diced avocado. We place 2 prawns on top of each tostone, decorate with fried plantain, pink sauce, a squeeze of lemon and a little cilantro.

   Serve immediately so the toast retains its crispy texture. Enjoy!
