THALIA'S TOSTONES AND SHRIMP PARTY BOATS

Steps:

• Cut off both ends of the plantains with large knife. Slice end to end in the grooves and peel.
• Cut the plantains into approximately 5 (2-inch) pieces. You should have approximately 15 pieces. Put them into a bowl with the cold water and salt. Set aside.
• In a large skillet heat about 2 to 3 inches of canola oil over medium heat.
• Dry the tostones with paper towels. Carefully drop them into the hot oil, in batches if necessary, and fry until they turn from peachy white to yellow, but not brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to paper towels to drain. Turn off your flame. Pat the tostones dry and cool briefly. Use a clear bowl or your hand to flatten them into round saucers. Watch through the bowl as you flatten them.
• Cook's Note: These are going to be your fiesta boats so they must be thick and large enough to hold the shrimp and for a toothpick to fit through them. So keep that in mind. Don't get upset if they aren't a perfect round shape or if they fall apart. That is why I recommend using 3 plantains so you have extra surface to work with. As they cool you can reshape them with your hands.
• Reheat the oil and add the tostones back to the skillet and fry for about 30 seconds on each side. Remove again to paper towels and sprinkle with salt. Set aside.
• In a large skillet heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over a low flame.
• Add the shrimp to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste, a pinch of dried oregano and a squeeze of a small slice of lime. Cook until the shrimp turn pink.
• Party Boat Topping:
• Combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, and minced garlic in olive oil in a small bowl. The color should be light pink. Squeeze a slice of lime juice into the mixture.
• Making your Party Boats:
• Smear about 1/2 teaspoon of the topping on each of the tostones and season with salt. Top with 1 shrimp and secure it with a toothpick. Arrange on a colorful platter and serve.
• Buen Provecho!

POBLANO SHRIMP FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Set oven control to broil. Line cookie sheet with foil; place chiles on foil. Broil chiles 3 to 4 inches from heat about 5 minutes on each side or until skin blackens and blisters. Wrap blackened chiles in foil. Let stand 10 minutes. Turn off broiler; heat oven to 425 degrees F. Move oven rack to middle position. Spray large cookie sheet with cooking spray.
• Meanwhile, in 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook bacon over medium-high heat 4 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until crisp. Remove bacon from skillet. Place on paper towel-lined plate; reserve drippings in skillet. Add shrimp to drippings in skillet; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until shrimp just begin to turn pink. Place shrimp on paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.
• Unroll dough onto cookie sheet. Starting at center, press dough into 15-by-10-inch rectangle. Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until light golden brown.
• Meanwhile, gently rub chiles with paper towel to remove as much skin as possible. Cut top from each chile; remove seeds. Cut chiles into 1/4-inch strips.
• Spread crema over crust to within 1/2-inch of edges. Top with cheese, roasted chiles, corn, bacon and shrimp.
• Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown and shrimp is cooked through. Garnish with cilantro leaves.
