    This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of SeaPak Shrimp & Seafood Company. The opinions and text are all mine.

    If you’re a regular reader of my blog, you know that some of my favorite foods are plantains and avocados. I can eat them every day and never get tired of either! Whenever I find a new way to incorporate those ingredients into meal, get ready for a new recipe, such as this ‘Ripe Plantain Baskets with Avocado, Beans and Shrimp’ dish I made as an appetizer last week. I could not stop eating them. They were so delicious!

    Whether you’re having friends, family or neighbors over for a summer party or just want to snack while you ‘Netflix and chill’, these mini plantain baskets are a simple, fun and delicious choice. I’m betting you’ll keep this recipe on hand for just such an occasion… or for no occasion at all 🙂

    These ripe plantain baskets are stuffed with mashed avocado, black beans and SeaPack Jumbo Butterfly Shrimp, which makes these bites come together incredibly fast. SeaPak makes it easy to enjoy a tasty seafood meal, especially when meal prep is the last thing on your mind. I’m sure you could easily play around with the filling, incorporating a number of different ingredients that would work beautifully with SeaPak shrimp. Cheese, corn, or salsa, to name a few, should all be delicious!

      I too love plantain! Thank you so much for offering a plantain basket (or cup) recipe that is baked instead of DOUBLE fried. So much healthier and I prefer the taste and texture of ripe or medium ripe plantains any way (the fried recipes usually call for green plantain, as you know). I am going to try adding a bit of corn flour or cornmeal to give the ripe plantain extra stability without compromising its flavour. The cornmeal might also add a bit of crunch. I'll let you know how they turn out. Keep up the good work.

        Hello... I was wondering if you ever tried this recipe with the cornmeal, and if so how did it turn out? Thank you
