Fried Green Plantains & Shrimp Soup w/ Rice...Sightseeing & Eating in San Juan

Fried Green Plantains & Shrimp Soup with Rice

Fried Green Plantains are a popular favorite snack, appetizer or a side dish in Puerto Rico. They are usually served in any Puerto Rican restaurant. You just cut the plantain into many pieces diagonally, sprinkle some salt and fry in a hot pan. Well that is what the waiter said!!! So check out what I got a chance to taste at the El Taino...yummie!!!

The taste was pretty good, not as sweet as the yellow plantain but very flavorful. It had a similar flavor to a potato chip.

The shrimp soup with rice was awesome!!! Big chunks of onions and tomatoes. You can taste the garlic and the many puerto rican spices. A very good soup to dip your fried plantains in...Delicious!!

Two thumbs up guys!!!!

  4. I remember when my husband and I were in Puerto Rico, the waiter suggested getting tostones. I wasn't sure what they were until the fried green plantains arrived. They were so good!
