This shrimp and plantain appetizer idea was inspired by the canapé classes I had in cooking school.
Apart from the fact that I also wanted to do something different with my overripe plantains, instead of making Mosa; a favourite Nigerian snack made with overripe plantain.

The plantain base
- 1 over ripe plantain finger

- Slowly incorporate the flour by pouring bit by bit into the plantain mix and mix properly till a dough is formed. Knead appropriately.

Excellent! I’d been staring at my overripe plantains and wondering what to do with them apart from adding them to beans. Thought of the mosas from the last time but I wanted a healthier option, I’ll give this a try 🙂
Grace dear ( my Miss Fitfam)…I agree it is a much healthier version.You can even top it with meat or fish as well.
wow, i am actually gonna try this, especially since I have all the ingredients at home, just gotta wait until one plantain is over ripe. for the non cooks here thought, what’s a plantain finger???
Drea…?,Please once you make it send me pictures.A plantain finger is a whole plantain.?
